Two people were killed in a head-on collision Saturday afternoon on the Glenn Highway west of Glennallen, Alaska State Troopers said.
Troopers said in an online report that they received a report of the Mile 170 crash around 2:40 p.m. Saturday, and they responded along with Village Public Safety Officers and emergency medical services.
“A preliminary investigation determined that a Chevrolet pickup truck traveling southbound collided head-on with a Subaru Crosstrek traveling northbound that departed its lane for unknown reasons,” trooper said in the report.
The two Anchorage residents in the Subaru were declared dead at the scene of the crash: 26-year-old driver Lloyd Lefevere and 21-year-old passenger Raycina Torres, according to troopers, who said their next of kin have been notified. Their bodies will be taken to the State Medical Examiner Office for an autopsy, troopers said.
No citations have been issued so far, troopers said, and they’re continuing to investigate what caused the crash, which closed the highway for about 1 1/2 hours.
