Rollover


This morning Joe got called out on an accident here in Tooele near the truck stops. He called me for help. I needed to bring his beloved Saw Sawl (Thanks Alan & Teri) to cut down the fence to get to the vehicle. We also needed trash bags, there was alot of crap we had to pick up. And might I say there was alot of beer cans around and a few still left in the van. Who knows what really happened. They outlined the were the body was but I didn't take a pic of that.



Utah Highway Patrol troopers discovered a dead body as they were cleaning up an accident scene Wednesday along I-80.

During Wednesday's morning commute, troopers say a white van was driving fast along a merging lane in Tooele.

The driver drove along the shoulder for awhile, before troopers say he sideswiped another car and fishtailed, then rolled two to three times near milepost 99.

The driver of the van was flown to the hospital with serious injuries.

Troopers found another man later about 100-feet from the van.

"We didn't see him right away. Witnesses and the other occupant of the van claimed that there was only one person in the van at the time" said trooper Troy Marx.

Officials believe the second man was ejected during the rollover and died at the scene.
