A head-on collision last Thursday morning sent four people to South Peninsula Hospital. Two men and two women escaped serious injury, and were treated and released that day, said Homer Police Chief Mark Robl. "They were fortunate the injuries weren't more severe," Robl said. The accident happened about 11:20 a.m. when a man turning south in a 1991 Ford pickup truck out of the Kenai Peninsula Borough landfill hit a 1998 Toyota pickup driving north on the Sterling Highway. The drivers, both men, and two women passengers in the Toyota were all injured. Both vehicles were totaled. Airbags in the Toyota deployed. The accident shut down both lanes of the highway on either side of the Fuel & C Gas Station at the top of the Sterling Highway as Homer Volunteer Fire Department medics and firefighters treated the victims. The accident happened on a stretch of deadly highway that has seen several people killed in the past five years. In the photo above, a tow-truck driver from Automotive Collision Experts tows away the Ford truck involved in the accident.
