Two-vehicle collision slows traffic on Bridge Access Road

A two-vehicle collision on Bridge Access Road slowed traffic and left one vehicle with extensive damage.

At around 3:40 p.m. on Tuesday, a Dodge Magnum heading toward Kenai on Bridge Access Road collided with the back of a semi truck, which was stopped in the north-bound lane. Neither driver was hurt.

The Dodge Magnum suffered extensive damage to its front, while the semi truck did not appear to be damaged.

Officer Dan Smith of the Kenai Police Department was assisting on scene. He declined to comment, as did two witnesses on scene.

An attempt to reach the Kenai Police Department for comment was not successful.
