OREM, Utah, Dec. 27, 2019 (Gephardt Daily) — Orem Police officials have released the name of the man who was fatally injured Thursday while making repairs to a dump truck.
He has been identified as 64-year-old Dave Olsen.
Orem Police Department posted on Facebook that officers and paramedics were dispatched to the area of 525 S. Carterville Road at about 6:15 p.m. Thursday on a report of a person who was stuck under the dump bed of a dump truck.
Upon arrival, police found that Olsen had become pinned between the dump bed and the frame of the truck while working on the truck, the post said.
