Driver strikes pedestrian who assisting disabled motorist

WILLOW — A Willow woman who stopped to help a disabled vehicle was struck and injured early Thursday by a hit-and-run driver.

Alaska State Troopers said 27-year-old Antoinette Holliday suffered injuries to her lower extremities and was transported by emergency responders to Mat-Su Regional Medical Center.

Holliday just after 1 a.m. stopped to assist a driver who had pulled over on Long Lake Drive in Willow.

A small, white sedan approached at high speed and struck her as she stood next to her vehicle.

The sedan then struck the disabled vehicle and continued driving.

Troopers are asking people with information about the incident to call them.
