Fairbanks, AK -


Steven Alley Sr. of Valdez tells the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner that he and his son spent 20 minutes Wednesday in a pickup truck that left the Richardson Highway south of Paxson in snowy conditions and entered a creek.

Alley's son, Steven Alley Jr., landed on top of him and broke his neck. Alley says both of their lower bodies were in water.

Alley's stepson also was in the vehicle but was uninjured.
