PALMER -- A 49-year-old Wasilla man died Wednesday evening when the 2008 Jeep Wrangler he was driving up a steep hill with four juvenile passengers rolled, throwing him from the vehicle, Alaska State Troopers said.

Scott Isaacs was pronounced dead at the scene, troopers said in a dispatch posted Thursday. Isaacs was not wearing a seat belt, a troopers spokesman said.

The accident occurred on Moose Meadows Road, a gravel road north of Wasilla near the Little Susitna River.

Three of the four passengers were taken to the hospital, troopers spokesman Ken Marsh said. Their condition wasn’t immediately available Thursday.

Isaacs was a licensee at Wasilla real estate agency RE/MAX Dynamic of the Valley, according to a Facebook post from the company.
