The soldier who died was ejected from the car, JBER officials confirmed.
The soldier, who was not named due to pending next-of-kin notifications, was one of five soldiers riding in a car on Arctic Valley Road, near Cottonwood Park. Officials say the car collided with another vehicle being driven by a man, with his spouse and their child in the vehicle, around 11:30 p.m. Sunday, according to the JBER Public Affairs Office.
JBER officials say two soldiers in the car were ejected, and both of them were taken to the Alaska Native Medical Center, along with the driver of the car. One soldier who was ejected was declared dead at the hospital. The driver and another soldier survived. Officials said two other soldiers were taken to Providence Hospital, where they were “treated and released with only minor injuries.”
The driver of the other vehicle was taken to Alaska Regional with his family, where they were evaluated and treated. Officials did not specify the severity of their injuries.Copyright 2023 KTUU. All rights reserved.
