Story summary

Mary Peltola, the Democratic candidate running for U.S. Senate in Alaska, sustained minor injuries in a car crash while traveling to the Alaska Federation of Natives Annual Banquet on Saturday night. Her campaign has postponed several upcoming events scheduled for Sunday and Monday as she recovers, per medical advice. The accident occurred when another vehicle struck Peltola's car, causing non-life-threatening injuries that required medical attention. Police confirmed a multi-vehicle collision in Anchorage but did not specify additional details. With just nine days until the November 3 election, Peltola is disappointed about the delay of her planned "Alaska Always Tour," an eight-stop campaign push designed to engage directly with voters across the state. Her campaign manager, Cheryl Bruce, emphasized that Peltola remains in good spirits and looks forward to resuming campaigning soon. The incident has not affected her lead over Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan but adds a new layer of uncertainty to the final week of the race.
