A man has been killed in a motorcycle crash in Darwin's rural area overnight.
The single vehicle crash happened on the Stuart Highway near Gulnare Road, in Bees Creek, about 6.45pm Thursday, Northern Territory Police have said.
Emergency services including police and St John Ambulance attended, but the male motorcycle driver died at the scene.
