Flooding closes 300km of Stuart Highway

ONE death, one person missing, a community evacuated and flooding continues as authorities close a section of the NT's major highway.

A 300KM stretch of the Stuart Highway has been closed as major flooding continues to plague the Northern Territory.

THE road will be closed until at least 6am on Tuesday due to significant flooding in three places and a road train that bogged itself trying to detour 20km south of Dunmarra, Police Commissioner Reece Kershaw said.
