A 16-year-old boy is in stable condition after he suffered serious head injuries in an ATV crash in the Matanuska Valley, troopers say.
Few details were immediately available, but Alaska State Troopers wrote in an online dispatch that they were notified of the crash at Boulder Creek near Mile 91 of the Glenn Highway at 8:17 p.m. Sunday. The dispatch does not state the cause of the crash.
Using the Purinton Creek trail head near Chickaloon, members of the Sutton First Response and Matanuska-Susitna Borough EMS made their way to the crash site on ATVs. The Air National Guard responded with a helicopter and transported the boy to a hospital.
