Anchorage Officer Crash Details | Anchorage News

An Anchorage police chief spilled the tea on a deadly crash involving an officer speeding through a red light while responding to a call — killing taxi driver Cemal Sadiku, 68, and passenger William Phillips, 45. The officer and three others in the taxi were injured but released; the taxi was law-abiding. New department policies urge officers to slow down at intersections, but it’s unclear if the officer received training. Toxicology reports are pending, with no drugs or alcohol expected to be factors. Criminal charges may follow, and an internal probe will assess policy violations — all while the officer faces a long road of recovery and accountability.
