Juneau, Alaska (KINY) – There was a crash reported this morning at about 8 am on Mendenhall Back Loop across from Mendenhall River Community School.
In a single-vehicle accident, three pedestrians, a mom, and two children sustained injuries. They are in stable condition at this point according to Juneau Police Department Lt Krag Campbell.
An email was sent out to parents regarding the incident on Thursday morning. One of the individuals is an MRCS student.
The letter, sent by principal Eric Filardi, stated that all guardians involved have been contacted and that the safety of their students is of top priority.
The driver has not been cited because a preliminary investigation indicates the driver is not at fault, JPD said.
A GoFundMe at https://gofund.me/4ffd3633 has been set up by a relative of one of the victims.
“David is the provider for their family and will not be able to work during this due to needing to travel to Seattle with Sebass,” Marry Knutsen wrote on GoFundMe. “We are asking for assistance to help the family out financially during this time. Please understand that their need may change based on the duration of time spent in Seattle.”
