Anchorage, AK : 1Woman dies in car crash near Anchorage international airport on Thursday, 15th August 2019

A crash involving three vehicles near Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport has left a woman dead and at least one male injured, police say.

Officers responded to a report of a crash around 3:42 p.m. Thursday at the intersection of West International Airport Road and Northwood Drive, Anchorage police said in an alert.

“Initial indications are that a black Acura, which was being driven at a high rate of speed according to witnesses, was headed eastbound on International when a blue Chevy made a left hand turn to go from westbound International onto southbound Northwood Drive," police said. "The Acura T-boned the Chevy. The Chevy was pushed into a Toyota Tundra.”

The woman driving the Chevy was declared dead at the scene, police said, and the condition of the male driver of the Acura — who was taken to the hospital — is unknown. The driver of the Toyota was not taken to the hospital for treatment; it was unclear whether he or she sustained any injuries. None of the drivers were accompanied by passengers, according to police.

“The cause of the crash, and whether or not drugs or alcohol were involved, is still under investigation,” police said.

The closure of all eastbound lanes of West International Airport Road at Jewel Lake Road will stay in place as investigators continue processing the scene.
