Unalaska, AK – Three people were seriously injured this morning when a black Ford F-150 pickup truck carrying four people careened off East Point Road and smashed into a shipping container near Dutch Harbor.
"We're still investigating, we do expect charges will be filed," said Unalaska Public Safety Sgt. Mike Holman who said three people have been medevaced off the island; a fourth has been treated for minor injuries. "We're still trying to collect as much information as we can."
He added that alcohol is suspected to have been a factor.
The collision occurred at about 3:45 a.m. Tuesday. No other vehicles are thought to have been involved, Holman says.
"It appears he was traveling at a high rate of speed, lost control, went off the road there and ran into those containers."
Names of the driver and three passengers have not been released. Holman said more information will be released after officers complete their investigation.
