Editor's Note: This is an updated version of this morning's story. The victim was James L Crump, 50, of Anchorage, not a female as originally reported.
The whole article is just filled with little nuggets like that.
Police say James L Crump, 50, of Anchorage, died after he was struck by a 1971 Triumph Stag convertible, which was carrying grand marshal of the Pridefest Parade Doug Frank.
The driver of the vehicle, Edith Baily, 70, of Eagle River and Frank were unharmed.
Doug Frank is an old fart, too:

Police officers who were nearby at the time of the accident attempted to revive Crump using CPR
Yeah, sure they did.
"As I understand, the vehicle hit him and continued on," said Anchorage Police Department spokesperson Lt. Dave Parker. "I don't know if there was a mechanical problem or not."
70-year-old driver, Einstein. SEVENTY!!!
Parade organizers promptly canceled the parade and directed parade goers to the Delaney Park Strip, where festivities continued in a subdued manner.
Honestly! This is the gayest article I've ever read!
"We just came out to see the parade and were waiting for it to start,"
Are these people trying to do this?
Crump was a registered nurse
Of course s/he was.
