Stephen Florio, 28, a driver for P&:C excavating and wellliked in Park City, was pinned underneath the 25-ton dump truck for almost 45 minutes while ambulance crews and utility workers labored feverishly to set him free. In order to free Florio from underneath the rim of the truck's iron bed, the huge rig had to be systematically jacked up over 24 inches. Because the truck lay at a precarious angle on the hillside, men worked meticulously in order to prevent the rig from slipping and inflicting greater harm to Florio. As the heavy truck moved up slowly, braces and additional jacks were employed to hold it in place while jacks continued to further raise the vehicle. When Florio was at last free he was immediately taken by ambulance to an awaiting Life Flight helicopter from LDS Hospital. From there he was transported within minutes to Salt Lake. Emergency medical technicians were notified of the accident about 10:30 a.m. by Kent Greenwald. who witnessed the tragedy from a window. "I saw what,appeared to be a truck flying up through the bushes going sideways, then heard a crash and saw a tremendous cloud of dust," said Mr. Greenwald. "I knew there had been an accident and immediately called the police," he said. Other witnesses say they saw Florio's truck come out of Ontario Canyon at high speed, "as if the brakes had failed."" Those witnesses say they saw the truck enter Marsac Avenue. swerve to narrowly miss a parked vehicle and veer right up the Ontario Avenue hill "as if trying to slow the truck down." "It was just flying - it must have been going about-90," said a witness. Florio evidently tried to stop the runaway truck by veering up . the steep hill to avoid injuries to others but could not keep the vehicles under control. Officer Joe Of fret is investigating the accident for the Park City Police Department and will release a full report later. 10 Years Ago •Should Snyderville be a city? By Nan Chalat-Noaker Ruth Wagner plans to hit the pavement this weekend with a petition that will put to the test all the talk about creating a city in the Snyderville Basin. Gathering signatures of support is the start of what Wagner believes could be a two-yearlong process toward incorporation. The petition asks residents of the area whether they want the Summit County Board of Commissioners to schedule a special election on the incorporation issue. Wagner said she needs 1,000 signatures in order to put the question on a ballot. As proposed at this point, Wagner is suggesting the boundaries of what she has tentatively named "New City" include all of the subdivision from Jeremy Ranch and Pincbrook to Park West, including Kimball Junction, Silver Springs and the proposed Flagstaff Mountain development on Guardsman Pass. In Wagner's version, the city would not include Summit Park, Silver Summit or the Silver Creek Commerce Center. Those boundaries, however, could be adjusted pending results of further study. According to Wagner, the 6.000 residents in the Basin have a lot to gain through incorporation. Most importantly, she believes, as a city "we could control our own destiny." She said the move would also be good for the county, which is struggling to provide municipallevel services to the growing population in the Snyderville Basin.
