Deadly crash with 6x6 on SR193 in Clearfield, UT, USA - 10/15/2018

[Valence]

Guys, stay safe out there with your rigs, insurance and preventative maintenance. (I highly suggest a dash camera in all your vehicles too).

Today, Monday October 15, 2018 the driver of the Chrysler 300 died in a collision with an M44, M809, or M39 series 6x6 (hard to tell which exactly from the low resolution video on my phone) on SR193 in Clearfield, UT, USA.

It was unknown at this time who was at fault.

Maybe one of these articles will be updated with more details later.

Yep right out side Hill AFB. Wonder if it had anything to do with GP?

Truck has a plate so doubtful it was a recent purchase.

Prayers for all.

The ksl video shows a close-up of the truck it is a Deuce.

Thank you. I couldn't get the KSL article to play on my device.

From the FOX news link:

"Officers interviewed a witness on scene of the accident who indicated the driver of the white Chrysler 300 failed to stop at the red light for north and south bound traffic. The Kaiser was traveling east through the intersection when the Chrysler 300 was 'T-boned' on the driver’s side," a news release from Clearfield PD said.

terrible, and sad. That early in the morning tiredness may have contributed.

Hard to read the black on green


MOD NOTE: I fixed the font color.

Sorry, when I copy paste it does that for some reason.

Our prayers go UP for the family of the driver who perished.

We pray as well for the Deuce driver, Mr. Ian Soelberg, who was injured.

Does anyone know if Mr. Soelberg is a Member of the SS Forums???

When that happens, highlight it and go to the tool bar. You can change the background and the font color.

The deuce driver has a Facebook page with public photos and posts. He says he fractured his back in 5 places and is having trouble gripping with the death of the other motorist. It appears he's only owned the deuce for 2 weeks.




Edit: One news article says he was ejected, but windshield appears intact. Maybe he went out side-ways.

Ok..but I for one can not see a thing to read it..Looks green on green to I,..(I do have my screen set to 'easy on the eyes').

I just can not believe the damage to the deuce. It almost looks like it (could have) hit a 'concrete wall' at 140MPH. Incredible destruction.
The memory of this will have me for one really taking (even more) care, and driving just that little bit slower.
I will MOST certainly be bettering my 'forward observation and anticipation'.
Not something you can easily forget.

Heck of a hit to do that much damage.

WOW! I'll be praying for all those involved.
