Medevacs Required For RV, Tour Bus Crash In Alaskan Wilderness

Thirteen people required hospitalization after a motor home slammed into the back of a bus that was turning into a wilderness lodge near Alaska’s Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. The extent of injuries from late Sunday morning accident near Copper Center, Alaska, were not known, an Alaska State Trooper spokesman said Monday. At least one ground ambulance took some of the injured to a nearby medical facility in Glennallen, Alaska, while a helicopter and at least one fixed wing aircraft took others to hospitals in Wasilla and Anchorage, about 160 miles to the west, Troopers spokesman Tim DeSpain said.
