From: Officer John Cryderman
Case or Incident: #141228-006
On 12/28/2014, at about 1439 hours, Juneau Police Department dispatch received a report of a motor vehicle crash with injuries near 2200 Trout Street on Glacier Highway. Personnel from the Juneau Police Department and Capital City Fire/Rescue responded to the scene.
The investigation revealed a 2004 Dodge pick-up operated by a 35 year old female Juneau resident was turning left off Trout Street from a stop sign onto Glacier Highway towards Egan Drive. A 2007 Subaru Forester operated by a 40 year old female Juneau resident was on Glacier Highway after turning off Egan Drive with the right of way. The Dodge truck entered the road way and was struck by the Subaru.
Two adult female passengers were transported to Bartlett Regional Hospital for apparent non-life threatening injuries.
The driver of the Dodge pick-up, Christina Wheaton, was cited for failure to yield when turning left and failure to carry proof of insurance.
Both vehicles sustained disabling damage in excess of $5,000.
Glacier Highway near Trout Street heading towards the airport was re-routed onto Old Dairy Road for about 35 minutes during the course of the investigation.
Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in this case.
