A man suffered life-threatening injuries after a car he was riding in turned in front of a dump truck early Thursday on East Tudor Road, police said.
The driver of a westbound Buick LeSabre sedan tried to turn onto Wright Street "directly in front" of the eastbound truck, according to an Anchorage Police Department alert. The crash was reported just before 2 a.m.
The dump truck struck the Buick on its passenger side and drove partially on top of the car, police said. The car's driver suffered serious injuries but is expected to survive.
The passenger had to be extricated by the Anchorage Fire Department and suffered injuries described as life-threatening.
The dump truck driver was cooperative and uninjured, police said.
The truck is privately owned, according to APD spokeswoman Renee Oistad.
There is no stoplight at the intersection of Tudor and Wright.
