Unalaska, AK – An Unalaska man's truck had to be lifted out of Iliuliuk River with a crane after its brakes failed yesterday afternoon.

The Ford Bronco rolled into the river opposite the Alyeska Seafoods processing plant at 3:45 in the afternoon and was completely submerged. The driver managed to climb out the window and flag down a nearby state trooper, who was checking fishing licenses along the river. Alyeska employees were able to pull the truck back onto dry land using a crane.

Officers at the Coast Guard Marine Safety Detachment were called to investigate because of a small amount of oil and gas that leaked from the truck into the river, but the Coast Guard said that no citations were issued.
