@occonews: Alaska Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola and her family suffered minor injuries in a car crash, prompting her campaign to postpone two events. According to her campaign’s October 25 statement, another driver struck the vehicle carrying Peltola and her family Saturday evening, October 24, as they traveled to the Alaska Federation of Natives Annual Banquet. Their injuries required medical attention. “Mary and her family sustained minor injuries but are in good spirits,” campaign manager Cheryl Bruce said. On medical advice, Peltola postponed Sunday’s event in Fairbanks and Monday’s stop in Bethel. Both are expected to be rescheduled for later in the week. Anchorage police confirmed that three vehicles were involved and said those involved sustained non-life-threatening injuries. The crash remains under investigation; authorities have not released a full account or determined responsibility publicly. A campaign spokesperson said there was no reason to believe the crash was politically motivated. The accident disrupted the opening of Peltola’s eight-community “Alaska Always Tour.” Her campaign said the remaining stops would proceed as planned, with events expected to resume Tuesday in Homer. Peltola, a former U.S. representative, is challenging Republican incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan. The latest development is the campaign’s announcement of her injuries and schedule changes—not a crash that happened Sunday.
