A woman was injured when the pickup she was driving went out of control and crashed on an icy stretch of 15th Avenue near Merrill Field on Tuesday morning, police said.

The incident occurred about 8:30 a.m. A dark blue Chevrolet Silverado pickup was traveling west on 15th Avenue near Sitka Street when it hit an icy patch, said Officer P. White of the Anchorage Police Department.

The truck didn't have studded tires or sandbags in the bed and started fishtailing, White said. It veered across the road and into trees off the opposite shoulder.
