Unalaska, AK – The Coast Guard medevaced an injured man off of the Clipper Surprise on Monday evening about 50 miles north of Unalaska. Thirty-year-old Holden Jonan-Serrano reportedly sustained an eye injury after colliding with a pipe. The Coast Guard says it's unclear how the injury happened, but the Coast Guard surgeon determined that it was serious enough to need immediate attention. A Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter that was stationed in Cold Bay for the fall fishing season flew to the 124-foot longline catcher-processor to help the man. The helicopter was already airborne and on patrol when they received the call. They transported Jonan-Serrano in stable condition to Cold Bay where a Guardian Life Flight jet took him on to Anchorage.
