A woman who was struck by a vehicle last month in South Anchorage has died, according to police.
Police said in a Tuesday statement that Clara Mattice, 85, was hit by a vehicle just before noon June 19 near DeArmoun and Elmore roads. Anchorage Fire Department medics took her to a local hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries, and police were informed that she died Saturday.
Police said the driver who struck her remained at the scene and cooperated with officers.
Christopher Barraza, a police spokesperson, said he had no additional information to release Wednesday.
Mattice is the 10th person to be struck and killed by a driver in Anchorage this year, following two fatal collisions along C Street last month.
Police also said Tuesday that they are seeking a pickup truck in another hit-and-run collision that left a pedestrian severely injured. The crash happened just before 6 p.m. on June 8 at Benson Boulevard and C.
“Initial indications are that an adult male pedestrian was crossing Benson Blvd. in the crosswalk, when he was struck by a Toyota Tundra truck that was turning south from Benson Blvd. onto C St.,” police said in the statement.
Road cameras recorded the truck, described by police as a black Toyota Tundra extended-cab pickup made between 2014 and 2021.
Police ask anyone with information about the June 8 collision to contact traffic investigator Mark Fortunato at 907-786-8544 or by email. Tips can also be anonymously submitted online through Anchorage Crime Stoppers.
