SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, March 31, 2016 (Gephardt Daily) — A Salt Lake City woman didn’t get far in a stolen truck Wednesday morning: She crashed through the vehicle owner’s fence in an attempt to leave the scene.
Salt Lake City Police said in a news release the incident happened just after 7 a.m. near 200 N. 600 West when the truck’s owner found Danika Hall, 19, driving away in his truck, which had been parked behind his house.
