Ron Knop was medevaced to Anchorage after his taxi-cab collided with a commercial tractor-trailer truck at the “S” curves on Airport Beach Road last Monday.

Unalaska Department of Public Safety reported several people sustained injuries from the head-on collision, and were transported to the clinic. Only Knop sustained severe injuries.

Megan Moore, a representative from Providence, reported Monday that Knop’s condition was “fair.” She could not comment further on the status of the patient.
