Anchorage, AK : Hit-and-run driver flees crash scene in underwear on Tuesday, February 3, 2015

A driver who struck two vehicles in a Tuesday East Anchorage crash fled the scene wearing only his underwear, police say.
The man, who was driving a blue Nissan Versa, was speeding northbound on Boniface Parkway, according to Anchorage Police Department Sgt. Rod Ryan. There were graders taking up part of the road and he reportedly drove into oncoming traffic to get around them.

“There’s indication that the driver of the blue Versa is possibly under the influence of some sort of illegal substance,” Ryan said at the crash scene.

Northbound and southbound lanes on Boniface near Fourth Avenue were closed as APD responded to the crash near Camelot Drive and Boniface, according to APD spokeswoman Anita Shell and police dispatch.

According to Shell, the suspect was trying to climb the fence at Northwest Auto Parts, located at 5700 Camelot Dr., when police caught him and took him into custody.

Two people were hurt, Shell said, including an elderly woman in a sport utility vehicle who suffered leg and hip injuries and needed to be extricated. The vehicles hit had to be towed.

Charges have not been filed for the suspect while he remains in the hospital for treatment of injuries he sustained during the incident, according to APD spokeswoman Jennifer Castro. She says charges may be filed in about a week.
