Ogden Man Killed When Truck Lands in River
MORGAN COUNTY, UTAH – March 19, 2015 – (Gephardt Daily)
A 33 year-old Ogden, Utah man was killed Thursday morning when the GMC truck he was driving vaulted off the highway and landed in the Weber River near Devil’s Slide.
According to the Utah Highway Patrol, Joseph D. Stakely, age 33, was traveling at a high rate of speed on westbound on I-84 when he suddenly lost control of his vehicle.
Troopers say the truck plunged into the river bed, striking a railroad bridge abutment before landing on its side.
The crash site was discovered around 8 a.m., but investigators say it’s unclear when the accident happened.
They say Stakely was not wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash.
