At 6:45 a.m. troopers went to a car crash near Mile 17 Kenai Spur Highway. Troopers responded and contacted both drivers as well as several witnesses that stayed on scene. Troopers said a 31-year-old Anchor Point man driving south in a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox fell asleep while driving, crossed the center line and hit a 2015 GMC Sierra driven by a 73-year-old Kenai man.  The vehicles struck in an offset head-on and side-swipe manner.  The Anchor Point man had his wife and child in the vehicle.  Seatbelts were worn by all occupants and the child was in a car seat that was properly secured.  No injuries were reported.  Troopers cited the Anchor Point man for negligent driving.
