Original story:
A man died in a hospital Thursday of injuries he suffered in a three-vehicle collision on Tudor Road in East Anchorage, police said.
Tudor had reopened by 2:15 p.m. after closing in both directions between Patterson Street and Baxter Road while police investigated the 9:30 a.m. crash.
The man, whose name has not been released by police, had been driving south on Kingston Drive when his Toyota Highlander collided with a GMC Yukon westbound on Tudor, police said in an online alert.
A Toyota 4-Runner eastbound on Tudor then collided with the Highlander.
The woman driving the Yukon was treated at a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, police said. The 4-Runner driver was not injured and remained on the scene.
“The area will remain closed while officers process the scene. Drivers are to use alternate routes,” the police alert said.
