ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A driver from Washington state is expected to be arrested in connection with a wrong-way crash that badly injured an Anchorage police officer.
Officer Randy Hughes sustained multiple fractures in the crash early Friday on the Glenn Highway in Eagle River, a suburb north of Anchorage.
Hughes was responding to reports that a sedan had been traveling the wrong way down the highway for miles, making no effort to avoid oncoming traffic, when his cruiser was hit by the car.
KTUU-TV reports (http://bit.ly/qu7jNs ) that a judge signed an arrest warrant for the driver, 49-year-old Gregory Fulling of Marysville, Wash.
