Case or Incident: #150115-006
On January 15, 2015, the Juneau Police Department received multiple reports of a 2 car motor vehicle crash on Tongass Boulevard, near Hayes Way. JPD officers as well Capital City Fire/Rescue were dispatched to the scene.
Investigation revealed that a 1998 Ford Mustang was traveling Southbound on Tongass Boulevard when it drifted out of the lane of travel and struck a parked 2014 Dodge truck. Due to the impact, the Ford Mustang flipped and landed on its roof in the middle of Tongass Boulevard. Two juveniles, a 16 year old and a 17 year old, were found with the Ford Mustang and transported to Bartlett Regional Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
The 16 year old was cited for minor consuming. Both Juveniles were later released to their parents.
Tongass Boulevard was closed to through traffic for approximately 30 minutes as the roadway was cleared. Alcohol is a possible determining factor in this case.
The Ford Mustang was totaled with approximately $2,000.00 damage. The Dodge Truck sustained approximately $4,000.00 damage.
Investigation continues into determining the driver of the Ford Mustang.
