A coroner in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada says a 21-year-old Vancouver woman died Tuesday in a single-vehicle crash east of Haines Junction.
According to a news release from the Yukon Coroner’s Service, Daria Gladkov and her husband were traveling from Washington to Alaska when they crashed.
The crash happened shortly before 11:30 a.m. on the Alaska Highway, about 200 miles from the Alcan Port of Entry. The couple’s Nissan Titan pickup left the highway and rolled as it crossed a ditch, according to the coroner’s service.
Both occupants suffered serious injuries and were taken to a hospital. Gladkov died before reaching the hospital, according to the coroner. The news release does not indicate who was driving the truck.
