TWO people critically injured in a horrific fatal collision on Wednesday are now in a stable condition at Royal Darwin Hospital.
A Top End Health spokeswoman confirmed this morning the two drivers, a 24-year-old woman and a 42-year-old man, were still at the hospital.
Mehali Anastasios Pastrikos, 7, and Wade Williams, 21, both died in the crash.
They were both in a Rav4 being driven by the 24-year-old woman.
The Rav4, travelling down Berrimah Rd, collided with a Ford Ranger, being driven by the 42-year-old man who was driving home along Tiger Brennan Dr from work in Jabiru.

“This money will be going to the family to help cover the cost of his funeral and any other expenses that may arise.”
