On Sunday, two moose were hit my vehicles on the Parks Highway near Cantwell in under two hours. Around 6:45, Francis Barry of Fairbanks was driving a semi near mile 194 when a moose tried to cross the road. Barry was unable to slow his truck in time to avoid the moose, and struck it on the passenger side. The moose was not located, according to State Troopers.
At about 8:15, Jason Barnes of Anchorage was driving north near Mile 153 in a GMC pickup and struck a moose calf that was crossing the road. The moose was hit by the driver’s side of the truck. The moose was recovered and donated to charity.
Both drivers were uninjured, wearing their seat belts, and the trucks were able to be driven from the accident scenes.
