At 5:28 pm on Saturday evening, Alaska State troopers responded to a roll-over at mile.2 of the Hatcher Pass Road near Palmer Fishhook Road.

One passenger, 15-year-old Hazel Weston of Wasilla was transported from the scene of the roll-over by Life-Flight helicopter after she was ejected during the accident.

The driver, 18-year-old Jacques Willems-Letendre, and two other passengers of the 1995 Chevy Blazer, 18-year-old Nichola Terry Usoltseff, and 19-year-old Dalton Wayne Jester, all of Wasilla, were transported to the local hospital by ambulance.

An investigation into the incident found that Letendre had run out of gas at the top of Hatcher Pass Road and had attempted to coast his out-of-gas vehicle down the gravel road to the Palmer Fishhook.

He made it from the summit of Hatcher Pass Raod to about mile .2, when the vehicle slid on the loose gravel of the road and the vehicle left the road at a curve. The vehicle rolled several times and came to rest approximately 200 feet down an embankment.

Letendre was cited for Failure to Exercise Due Caution to Avoid a Collision, Coasting, and No Proof of Insurance.

The Alaska State Parks Department also issued a summons to Letendre for Disturbance of Natural Resources.

The vehicle was a total loss.
