Show The Park Record WedAThursFri, March 31- April 2, 2004 UHP still investigating c C. G. S P - R K S FURNITURE WITH SOUL II By PATRICK PARKINSON Of the Record staff This week investigators with the Utah Highway Patrol (UHP) were unable to obtain the identity of a man who was injured after crashing his semi-truck on Interstate 80 near Parleys Summit. The accident occurred Sunday, morning around 1 a.m. while the truck was traveling westbound. "It was heading down toward Salt Like," said Derek Jensen, a public information officer with the Utah Department of Public Safety. The driver of the truck was found more than a mile from where the truck came to rest, Jensen said. "'Ilic truck was going westbound, crossed over into'eastbound lanes of traffic, then crossed back over into westbound lanes of traffic and hit a barrier, jackknifed and tipped over," he added. The driver was conscious at the scene but spoke Russian and "very little English," Jensen said. . "'Iliis is the part that we're still trying to sort out. Part of the problem prob-lem is we have not been able to speak with the driver," he said, adding that troopers found no identification iden-tification for the man. "Investigators indicated Monday that he was still in critical condition at the hospital." The only information investigators investiga-tors obtained from the driver was that his brakes had failed, Jensen said. "They couldnt even get a name out of him," he said. "Investigators are trying to determine if he was in the truck when it went out of control and then jumped from the truck. Or. if he was already outside of the truck and somehow it started to roll down the hill on its own." Troopers dont know what caused the truck to roll, Jensen said. "There was only one other car that received damage and that was just from debris from the truck accident," acci-dent," he said. He said the man was transported by ambulance to University of Utah Health Sciences Center in "poor condition." "His medical condition prevented prevent-ed officers from talking to him." Jensen said, adding that the driver's condition worsened. "'Hie language barrier made it very difficult to get any information while he was still conscious at the scene." Interpreters arc waiting to speak to the man. "It's a really bizarre case," Jensen said. ft: ,r f , i- - A-4 rash v 1 454. S. 500 W.

Joe Off ret said investigators are searching for two men described as having medium builds, dark hair and dark complexions, who are suspects in the rape. Part of Silver Creek Canyon was closed to traffic early Monday morning morn-ing after a semi-trailer carrying hazardous haz-ardous chemicals turned over. "Due to the nature of the cargo I guess if it mixes or co-mingles with petroleum ... then it begins to make chlorine gas, which is clearly deadly," dead-ly," Offrct said. Hazardous materials teams responded from the Salt Lake area and assisted the Utah Highway Patrol with the investigation, Offret said. After blocking traffic, officers entered the trailer and determined that all containers of hazardous materials were intact, Offret said. "It was just a matter of moving that out, putting it on another transport trans-port and clearing the wreckage ... there was no dangerous spill," Offret said. A highway patrol official said equipment attaching the trailer to the truck malfunctioned and the trailer tipped over while the driver was traveling around a turn in Silver Creek Canyon, eastbound on Interstate 80. Traffic was re-routed along U.S. 40, Offret said. No one was reportedly injured and no other motorists were involved in the crash.
