A Saturday morning car crash culminated in the death of a 63-year-old driver and about $80,000 in damage to the house he ran into.
Police believe Craig Stephen Temanson was travelling south on Julep Street when his truck drifted off the road, through a ditch, two driveways, a large flowerbed and smashed into a house in the 3700 block of Julep Street.
A Juneau Police Department press release said an off-duty officer was alerted by neighbors and found Temanson unconscious inside the vehicle. The officer started giving Temanson CPR and was able to remove him from the truck with help from another officer and a bystander.
The press release said officers continued giving Temanson CPR until Capital City Fire/Rescue workers arrived and took over. Temanson was taken to Bartlett Regional Hospital where he was pronounced dead. No one inside the house was injured.
Authorities don’t suspect alcohol to be a factor in the crash and an autopsy has been requested.
