FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) - An Anchorage woman died when her pickup crashed on the Parks Highway south of Fairbanks.

Alaska State Troopers say the crash killed 25-year-old Charlene Peterson.

Troopers took a call on the crash at 11:13 p.m. Tuesday.



Peterson was driving south near Mile 324.7, about 23 miles north of Nenana (nee-NA-nah), when her truck left the roadway and flipped.

Peterson was pronounced dead at the scene.

Troopers say alcohol was not a factor in the crash.
