A police officer has told the Northern Territory coroner that police actions were "reasonable" during a police pursuit resulting in a fatal crash that killed a 36-year-old woman in Darwin in 2021.

Northern Territory Coroner Elisabeth Armitage is examining the actions of police during the three-day coronial inquest into the fatal crash. 

Ms Thompson, as her family requested she be named in reporting, died after the car she was travelling in as a passenger ran two red lights while evading police and collided with a vehicle in the Darwin suburb of Alawa.
