ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Police say a man struck and killed by a semi truck last week may have been drinking.

Horace Field, a 45-year-old Noorvik resident, died after being struck and dragged in an accident downtown last weekend.

Police say blood tests show he may have been drinking. Toxicology tests are also being completed on the truck diver, although police believe he was sober.

Police are reviewing surveillance footage from an FBI building nearby to determine where Field was standing when the semi turned the corner, striking him.
