Laguna Hills Woman Dies In River-Rafting Accident

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) ― A 73-year-old California woman is dead and her husband is critically injured in a rafting accident in Girdwood.
 
Alaska State Troopers say Ronnie Zoffer of Laguna Hills, Calif., died of her injuries in the accident Wednesday in Glacier Creek. Her husband, identified as 75-year-old Charles Zoffer, was flown to Providence Alaska Medical Center.

The couple was among four people on the raft down turbulent river rapids when the accident occurred shortly before 1 p.m.

Troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters says Daniel Paz, of Anchorage,
and Lance Terry, of Girdwood, were not hurt.
