Unalaska, AK – A man driving a jeep on Broadway late this morning rolled his vehicle into Unalaska Lake.
The driver, Koy Okende, was taken to the Iliuliuk Health Clinic for treatment for hypothermia and minor cuts and bruises. His jeep was pulled out of the lake at about 11:15 a.m., but was badly damaged.
Witnesses told public safety officers that Okende was driving about 20 miles an hour when he lost control of his vehicle on the icy road, hit the curb and rolled into the lake. Bystanders helped Okende across the street to Eagle's View Elementary School, where he stayed warm until paramedics arrived.
