Extrication was required to remove some of the patients from the vehicles. One adult was subsequently transferred to a Seattle hospital. Nenana Fire and Rescue, Clear Space Force Fire and EMS, Anderson Fire and EMS, McKinley Village Fire Departments and State Troopers all responded to the scene. The Parks Highway was closed for approximately two and a half hours. Weather and blowing snow are considered to be a contributing factor.
