Brent Anderson was being pursued pur-sued by a Farmington police officer Thursday at 10:10 p.m. when his truck entered the median on 1-15 near 1000 North in Bountiful, r sheared off a light pole and rolled, a Utah Highway Patrol spokesperson reported. Police said Anderson was ejected - from his 1985 Toyota pickup during the crash, suffering severe head and body injuries. He was taken by Life Flight helicopter to LDS Hospital. Anderson has been moved from the Intensive Care Unit and is fair condition con-dition as of Monday, a hospital spokesperson reported. Farmington Police Chief Jeff Jacobson said the incident occurred when one of his officers was entering enter-ing the freeway southbound on the 200 West on ramp and sighted Anderson traveling about 85 mph. Jacobson said Anderson was driving driv-ing very erratically, ' ' running other vehicles out of their lanes. "The officer attempted to stop him, assuming he may be driving impaired, but he didn't want to stop," Jacobson said. Anderson grazed part of the bridge structure near the Parrish Lane exit, but kept going. A UHP officer reported there was a strong odor of alcohol coming from the suspect's vehicle at the scene of the crash. Anderson is being cited on one felony count of evading police and for driving under the influence of alcohol. |
