Author: KSRM News Desk |

Alaska State Troopers conducted a traffic stop on a 1998 green Subaru Legacy at milepost 114 of the Sterling Highway, on Monday April 26th, 2021. The driver did not have a license and was identified verbally as Brandon Moore, age 38, of Kenai.

 

As AST was talking with Moore, he put the vehicle in reverse and took off southbound on the Sterling Highway.

 

On various occasions, Moore was driving towards oncoming traffic and other vehicles had to swerve off the road so Moore would not hit them.

 

Anchor Point Troopers set out spike strips at milepost 139 of the Sterling Highway. All four tires were hit by the spikes and Moore ended up driving into a ditch and flipping his vehicle.

 

Moore was transported to South Peninsula Hospital in Homer where he is being treated for injuries.

 

Moore is being charged with 1st degree eluding and reckless driving.
