Boy dies after three kids pinned under truck in sledding accident, Alaska cops say

A pickup truck collided with three boys on a snow sled, killing one, Alaska State Troopers reported.

A 911 caller reported the accident at 5:15 p.m. Monday, March 4, in Fairbanks, troopers said in a dispatch.

The boys sledded down a driveway into a street and under a passing pickup truck, troopers said.

The driver crashed into a snowbank trying to avoid the boys, who were pinned beneath the pickup truck, troopers said.

All three boys were taken to a hospital, where one died, troopers said. A second was airlifted to a Seattle hospital for serious injuries, and the third had non-life-threatening injuries.

The pickup truck driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators, troopers said. Impairment is not suspected.

Fairbanks is about 360 miles north of Anchorage.
