w123 wagon crash in Alaska

A family member sent me this story. Thankfully everyone survived. Check out the photo of the wagon. I tried to search for a photo of the damage to the front, but couldn't find one. The front of that F150 looks pretty bad.

Apparently they had to use the 'jaws-of-life' to free the w123 driver.

Anchorage Daily News article.

Wonder if the owner is a member here. We had a member who drove a TD to Alaska with a 617 in the back.

Kerry, wow, you have an impressive memory. I was the (reckless) member who drove to AK with a 617 in the back.

I too wonder if this person is a member. And yeah, now I see the Euro bumper. It's a shame, but at least the car did its job.
