Man dies after pickup crash on Glenn Highway near Sutton

A 77-year-old man died after crashing his pickup early Wednesday afternoon on the Glenn Highway near Sutton.

Alaska State Troopers said the man, Noble Sherwood of Copper Center, apparently had a medical emergency before the truck went off the road.

The crash occurred about 1 p.m. at Mile 66 of the Glenn Highway. Sherwood was heading south when he crossed the other lane of traffic and crashed into a line of trees, troopers wrote in a Wednesday dispatch. An ambulance took Sherwood to Mat-Su Regional Medical Center, where he was declared dead.

Sherwood was the only person in the truck. He was wearing a seatbelt, troopers said.
