Four victims identified in fatal Labor Day collision

DENALI STATE PARK — Alaska State Troopers have released the names of two people killed in a car wreck along the Parks Highway Monday evening.

Emergency medical personnel pronounced Dontaveon Green, 33, and Patricia Williams, 23, both of Fairbanks, dead at the scene of a two-vehicle, head-on crash near Mile 152, Parks Highway.

Helicopters transported Wilton Florencio Villa, 27, of Anchorage and Brent Williams, 25, of Westport, Washington from the scene with life-threatening injuries.

Villa and Williams remained in Providence Hospital Wednesday morning. Villa’s condition was listed as serious. William’s condition was listed as critical.

The page to respond to the accident — reported as involving one vehicle on top of the other with serious and possible fatal injuries — went out at around 5:45 p.m., Monday.

Trooper spokesperson Megan Peters said it is still unclear why the 2003 Lincoln Navigator driven southbound by Villa crossed the centerline and collided head on with a 2000 Saturn SL driven northbound by Green.

“So far, we do not know why the driver crossed the center line,” she wrote, in an email to the Frontiersman Wednesday. “The road was dry, weather was good and it was a straight stretch of road.”
