2019 Unalaska Car Crash Case Heads to New Jury
The criminal case involving a fatal 2019 car crash on Unalaska’s Mount Ballyhoo will go to trial next month, for the second time.
In April, a group of Anchorage jurors was unable to come to a unanimous decision in the six-year-long homicide case against 24-year-old Dustin Ruckman.
Following the mistrial, Ruckman will once again face a jury in Anchorage for two counts of homicide for his involvement in the death of two Unalaska teen girls.
In May of 2019, when Ruckman was 18, he drove his truck up the popular local mountain with his 16-year-old girlfriend at the time, Karly McDonald, and their friend Kiara Renteria Haist, 18.
The two girls died after the truck plummeted about 900 feet down the north side of the mountain.
According to the Unalaska Department of Public Safety, Ruckman claimed he was thrown from the vehicle as it descended, sustaining some minor injuries.
