Jody Yakanak, 27, of Kodiak, her 6-year-old son and Rocky Moore, 39, of Homer were injured in the accident and taken to South Peninsula Hospital. According to an Alaska State Trooper report, Moore was driving east in a Ford Ranger pickup at about 3:15 p.m. when he crossed the center line and struck Yakanak, driving a Jeep Cherokee.

Both vehicles were totaled. Tools, junk and beer bottles were strewn from the open pickup bed of the Ford Ranger.

Troopers allege Moore drove with a revoked license from a previous charge of driving under the influence. He also had an outstanding $750 warrant for a probation violation.

Tlhis Jeep Cherokee was totaled in the accident.

Traffic was backed up for about a half-mile in either direction while EMTs and rescue staff treated the victims and cleared the scene. East End Road was closed for about an hour.
