[Michel]

(ABC) A 33-year-old man has been charged after he crashed his car in the Northern Territory while drunk and engaging in "amorous activities" with a 34-year-old woman.

Police say the vehicle was travelling in Humpty Doo, about 40 kilometres south of Darwin, at 11.30pm last night when the car crossed to the wrong side of the road and crashed into a concrete drain.

"It's believed that the driver and his passenger were engaged in amorous activities at the time of the accident," said Duty Superintendent John Emeny, who added that the activities were "a little more than kissing".

The driver suffered a minor hip injury and the woman was left with minor chest injuries.

Police say the car was extensively damaged.
