PITKA’S POINT — A southwest Alaska man was seriously injured in an all-terrain vehicle crash.
Alaska State Troopers said 26-year-old Gabriel Wasky was driving down a steep hill at high speed and lost control.
The ATV rolled multiple times, crushing Wasky.
Troopers took a call on the crash at about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday.
An ambulance transported Wasky five miles to the Saint Mary’s Clinic.
He was medically evacuated to an Anchorage hospital.
Troopers said he had not worn a helmet and that alcohol was a factor in the crash.
Pitka’s Point is a village of 121 near the junction of the Yukon and Andreafsky rivers.
