TWO people died when a campervan and a car towing a caravan crashed head-on on the Stuart Highway.

The accident occurred just after 1.30pm on the Stuart Highway, 5km north of the Barrow Creek roadhouse.

The Royal Flying Doctor Service flew to the scene.

An RFDS spokeswoman said an emergency retrieval specialist from the Alice Springs Hospital had been on the RFDS aircraft.

Senior Sergeant Garry Smith said the Stuart Highway had been re-opened.
