EAGLE RIVER, Alaska — A man died in an accident on the Glenn Highway when his vehicle left the highway and crashed into a fence.

KTUU-TV (http://is.gd/iLaWYP) reports that the one-vehicle accident occurred Wednesday afternoon near Eagle River at about 3:50 p.m. as the driver was heading toward Anchorage. The vehicle ended up on its side after striking the fence.
