Rollover Accident Proves Fatal for Driver


Monday, April 06 2015
An Unalaska man has died after a car accident near the UniSea processing plant.
Ted Walker, 54, was driving past the Hill Place Apartments on Sunday afternoon when his Ford pickup rolled down a slope. The truck landed on South Pacesetter Way near the Galaxy Dock.
Police sergeant Bill Simms says Walker had "a variety of injuries caused by the accident itself." He was transported to the clinic and passed away a few hours later during a medevac flight to Anchorage.
Simms says the cause of the accident is under investigation.
The Hill Place Apartments are reserved for UniSea employees. Residents in the building said Walker had lived there for several years with his family. Recently, he'd been working at Safeway as a meatcutter.
"He was committed to his customers and the company," says store manager Abe Palmer.
