Crash Damages Airport Property

Monday, August 08 2011

A drunk-driving accident earlier this month took out Unalaska’s one major traffic stop.

 Cole Corbett, 30, allegedly ran into one of the runway stop arms on Ballyhoo Road last Saturday after veering off the road. While he and his passenger were not injured, the crash did result in serious property damage. The Department of Transportation estimates that repairs to the stop arms will cost $50,000.

Right now, it’s unclear how the repairs will be paid for. According to Sgt. Mike Holman, the Unalaska Department of Public Safety was unable to immediately confirm whether Corbett was insured.

Corbett was arrested for driving while under the influence, reckless driving, reckless endangerment, and criminal mischief.
