Anchorage police on Wednesday identified the two women who died after pickup trucks struck them in roadways Sunday in separate collisions, police said.
In a third incident, another woman died Monday when she was struck by a minivan near the Rainbow Trailhead on the Seward Highway, police said.
Criminal charges had not been filed in any of the three collisions by Wednesday, Anchorage police spokeswoman Renee Oistad said.
Danielle Washington, 45, was crossing DeBarr Road east of the intersection with Bragaw Street around 6:35 a.m. Sunday when she was struck by a westbound Dodge pickup, police said. She was not in a crosswalk, they said.
People at the scene performed life-saving measures, and Washington was taken to a hospital by medics but died shortly afterward, according to police.
Shannon Wallner, 42, was on Muldoon Road south of the intersection with East Sixth Avenue when a man driving a black Chevy pickup southbound struck her around 12:30 a.m., police said. She was not in a crosswalk, they said.
Wallner died at the scene, according to police.
Both she and Washington are from Anchorage, Oistad said.
Police by Wednesday had not identified the woman who died in Monday’s crash along the Seward Highway. A man was driving toward Anchorage in a Toyota Sienna when he struck her near the Rainbow Trailhead just after 6 a.m., police said. The woman was “in the roadway” when the crash occurred, Oistad said.
People at the scene performed life-saving measures, and medics took the woman to a hospital where police said she died shortly afterward.
Additional details about the circumstances surrounding the crash were not available Wednesday, Oistad said.
Nine pedestrians have died so far in Anchorage this year.
