Unalaska, AK – Last night, Unalaska experienced its third major motor vehicle accident in six weeks.

David Harrell, 23, was allegedly speeding on the way back from Summer Bay just after 10pm when the Isuzu Rodeo he was driving went off the road near Little Priest Rock. The car fell more than 10 feet and flipped, injuring Harrell and the two passengers with him.

While Harrell and one of the passengers needed to be ambulanced to the clinic for care, no one involved in the accident suffered any major injuries according to Sgt. Mike Holman.

"This is another vehicle accident that looks like it should have had more serious injuries than it did result in," says Holman. "The vehicle itself is really damaged."

According to the criminal complaint, Harrell does not remember what happened. In an interview with police, one of the passengers said that the group had been drinking beer and rum at Summer Bay before the accident. Harrell's breath alcohol content was measured at 0.135.

He has been charged with five counts of criminal activity, including the felony count of assault. Additionally, he faces misdemeanor charges of driving while intoxicated, reckless endangerment, driving with a suspended license, and violating the conditions of his release. Harrell had previously been arrested for assault, furnishing alcohol to minors, and criminal mischief, among other charges.

Holman says that while this accident might have been caused by alcohol, drivers should generally be cautious while driving down Summer Bay Road.

"Drive carefully on this. There are a lot of pedestrians that use this - runners, walkers, people walking their animals. This type of thing is scary for the pedestrians," says Holman. "Dangerous and scary."

Harrell made his first court appearance this afternoon, and bail was set at $5,000.
