Willow EMS and Fire Services responded to a two-vehicle accident near Sheep Creek Lodge Sunday afternoon.
Alaska State Troopers report that a 41 year old male from Anchorage was driving a Ford F250 pickup and hauling a snowmachine trailer. Thomas Donnell was westbound on Hidden Hills Road and turned onto the Parks Highway without stopping at the stop sign. Nancy Moss of Willow was northbound on the Parks Highway in her Chevy Tracker when the truck and trailer turned in front of her. Moss was unable to avoid the collision.
