    One tourist from China's Taiwan was killed and two more others seriously injured after a car rolled over in outback Australia, local media reported Monday.

    Northern Territory Police said four tourists, two men and two women believed to be in their late 20s, were involved in a fatal crash on Sunday on the Kakadu Highway, 200 kilometers south east of the NT capital, Darwin.

    A male, believed to be a passenger in the four wheel drive, was thrown from the vehicle when it crashed shortly after midday and died on the spot, police said. "At this stage we understand there were four foreign tourists in the four wheel drive at the time of the crash," said Senior Sergeant Mark Casey from the Major Crash Investigation Unit in a statement released Sunday.

    A spokeperson from Careflight said the three survivors were transported to the nearest town Jabiru before being airlifted by plane to Royal Darwin Hospital.

    "They had been transported to the local clinic from the crash site about 30 km west of the town," a statement issued on Sunday said.

    "One woman had serious chest and abdominal injuries and was in a critical but stable condition. Another man had a serious head injury and was stable while the third patient, a woman, had serious multiple fractures to her arm."

    The three survivors of the crash were conscious when paramedics arrived at the scene. However, the man who suffered head injuries said he had no recollection of the crash.

    Police are investigating the circumstances around the incident. The highway remained closed in one direction until midday Monday.

    Emergency responders from Jabiru have been commended for their efforts in assisting the injured.

    The crash takes the Territory road toll to 13 deaths, five fewer than the same time last year.
