Several units responded shortly after 10 p.m. to mile 67 of the Seward Highway, according to Girdwood Fire Department, for a crash involving a car and a motorhome. According to troopers, the collision left 46-year-old Jeffrey Andrews dead when the sedan he was riding in crossed the middle traffic line and hit the motorhome at a high rate of speed.
