On Mar. 25 at 11:17 a.m., David Johannes, 23, of Anchorage, contacted Alaska State Troopers to report that he had rolled his semi-truck near Mile 8.6 of the Seward Highway. Investigation revealed that Johannes was operating a red 2014 Peterbilt, towing two flatbed trailers, northbound on the Seward Highway. The first trailer was loaded with wire mesh, and the second trailer was loaded with a Conex. While attempting to negotiate an S-curve, the front trailer began tipping towards the northbound ditch. The trailer was unable to recover and rolled, causing the rear trailer and the truck to roll with it. The truck suffered substantial damage and blocked the northbound lane of the highway. The trailers rolled into the northbound ditch of the highway. Johannes denied suffering any injuries and reported to have been wearing his seat belt. Webb’s Towing responded to remove the truck and trailers from the roadway. Alcohol was not a factor.

On Mar. 27 at 12:22 a.m., Alaska State Troopers attempted to locate Lanny Perrill, 31, of Soldotna, at a Soldotna residence and serve his outstanding arrest warrant.
