Dispatch Text:

On 7/3/2026, at approximately 2104 hours, Seward AST was dispatched to mile 15 Seward Highway for a reported overturned semi. AST arrived and located a semi with two trailers overturned, spilling diesel fuel and oil across the highway. At the time of the rollover, the truck was fully loaded with containers of salmon, which vastly covered the highway. Two occupants of the truck were transported to Seward Providence Medical Center for apparent minor injuries and evaluation. The highway was closed until approximately 0445 hours on 7/4/26 while the mess was cleaned up. Initial investigation indicates that the truck was traveling too fast for conditions, and intoxication was not a factor.
