A woman suffered serious injuries after she was struck by a man operating an ATV on the Yukon River Saturday.
At about 6 p.m., Alaska State Troopers responded to a report that Jana Duny, 23, was struck by a Honda Foreman ATV on the river. Four witnesses identified Christopher Gregory as the man operating the ATV at “a high rate of speed,” according to an online AST dispatch posted Monday.
Further investigation revealed that the 19-year-old man struck Duny with his ATV, stopped to apologize and then drove off toward Alakanuk, troopers say.
Witnesses used a snowmachine to transport Duny to a clinic in Emmonak, where it was determined she had suffered serious injuries. She was transported to Anchorage for further care, troopers say.
Troopers arrested Gregory in Alakanuk. His bail was set at $10,000.
