At 7:33 PM on August 16, 2023, officers assigned to swing shift patrol and medics with the Anchorage Fire Department responded to the area of the New Seward Highway and Dimond Blvd in reference to a single vehicle rollover with injuries.

 Initial indications are that an adult male was driving a Dodge Ram northbound on the New Seward Highway and was exiting the Dimond offramp when the vehicle left the roadway on the right side and rolled over. The driver was ejected. There were no other occupants.
