My assumption was wrong, and you're right. Since he worked at the Anchorage jail, I assumed he was doing a transport in one or both ways. There's not a lot of reasons to drive out that road, beside commuting or traveling to the Goose Bay prison. I'm going to delete my earlier post because it's easily misunderstood. He was very badly hurt and will probably need extensive orthopedic surgery. I hope his family (and friends?) fared much better. 

The guy who hit him had a drug and DV history, though, and didn't have the sense to be wearing his seat belt. His child was probably not properly buckled into the child seat, or it's unlikely the kid would have been ejected. So he was certainly reckless. Being under the influence might also explain how he got on the wrong side of the road.
