Willow, AK : 1 dead, 7 injured in Parks Highway crash near Willow on Sunday, 15th August 2021

One man died and seven people were brought to a hospital following a three-vehicle collision on the Parks Highway Saturday, Alaska State Troopers said.

Just after 6 p.m., first responders were called to the Sheep Creek Bridge near Willow at Mile 88 of the highway, troopers wrote in a statement.

A 2010 red Dodge Ram pickup truck had been stopped in the northbound lane in front of a 2012 red Ford Fusion while the vehicles waited to turn left, troopers wrote. Then, a white 1986 Toyota 4-Runner going north “at a high rate of speed over the bridge” rear-ended the Ford Fusion, troopers wrote.

The Ford Fusion, which had five people inside, subsequently hit the Dodge Ram, which also had five people inside, troopers said.
