Coast Guard medevacs 26-year-old in Bering Sea

JUNEAU, Alaska - A Coast Guard Air Station MH-60 Jayhawk rescue helicopter crew deployed in Cold Bay diverted from a training flight near Dutch Harbor to medevac a 26-year-old male who reportedly suffered head injuries aboard the 58-foot fishing vessel Cape Reliant 55 miles northeast of Dutch Harbor at 4:20 p.m. Tuesday.
Tom Webster was medevaced after the 17th Coast Guard District command center in Juneau received notification from the Coast Guard Cutter Alex Haley who relayed a request for a medevac by VHF radio from a crewmember aboard the Cape Reliant at 1:45 p.m.
