An Anchorage safety officer was taken to the hospital after he crashed into a minivan last week.
Robert Sternberg was working as he drove his Anchorage Water and Waste-water Utility SUV down Jewel Lake Road. According to officials, Sternberg had fallen asleep which had caused his run in with the minivan.
Sternberg had suffered from a ruptured spleen and was admitted into the hospital. As for the driver and a four year old girl that were in the minivan, they suffered from more minor injuries.
Falling asleep behind the wheel is never a good thing. You must make sure that you are completely rested when deciding to drive a motor vehicle. Sternberg is the managers of the city’s safety program and yet he nearly caused a tragic auto accident. Luckily, everyone made it out alive.
