Dispatch Text:

On October 12, 2026, at approximately 1550 hours, the Alaska State Troopers were notified of a REDDI (Report Every Dangerous Driver Immediately) call on the Palmer–Wasilla Highway. The reporting party observed a blue Toyota Tacoma failing to maintain its lane and repeatedly braking in an unsafe manner.

Troopers located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop. During the stop, the vehicle fled at a high rate of speed. Troopers pursued the Tacoma as it continued to drive dangerously and recklessly toward the Glenn Highway. The driver weaved through traffic, passed vehicles on the shoulder, ran multiple red lights, and reached speeds exceeding 120 miles per hour.

The pursuit continued until the vehicle came to a stop near the Peters Creek exit. The driver and sole occupant, Alexis Nelson, age 29, of Wasilla, was taken into custody without further incident. Nelson was arrested for Failure to Stop at the Direction of a Peace Officer and was transported and remanded to the Mat-Su Pretrial Facility.

If any members of the public were affected during this vehicle pursuit, please contact the Alaska State Troopers at 907-352-5401.
