Anchorage police said Monday they had no indication that a Saturday evening collision involving Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola was a targeted attack1.

A department bulletin said Peltola’s vehicle was struck from behind shortly before 7 p.m. at O’Malley Road and Lake Otis Parkway and pushed into a car ahead1. Occupants, including Peltola, and the other driver were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries1.

Her campaign said the crash happened on the way to an Alaska Federation of Natives banquet and that Fairbanks and Bethel events would be moved later in the week1,2. Sen. Dan Sullivan’s campaign said it hoped those involved were okay2.

Peltola is challenging Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan in a closely watched Senate race1. Police said they had nothing further to share Monday1.
