Anchorage, AK : Craig woman killed in Southeast Alaska truck crash on Tuesday, May 24, 2016

A woman from the Southeast Alaska community of Craig died overnight Tuesday, when Alaska State Troopers say her pickup hit a tree on Prince of Wales Island.

Troopers said in an online dispatch that they responded just before 11:30 a.m. Wednesday to the crash that killed 63-year-old Micki Decker, at Mile 9.5 of the Klawock-Hollis Highway. Decker had been driving a 1995 Nissan pickup headed east when her vehicle left the roadway.

"Decker apparently crashed (Tuesday night) but was not found until the next morning," troopers wrote. "Decker was not wearing a seat belt and was fatally injured in the collision. A dog in the vehicle survived and was taken by next of kin."

Troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters didn't immediately have further details on the crash Thursday morning.
