    Update.......
    Deadly Crash Involving Bulldozer Becomes More Sinister
    Recently, local station KSL obtained charging documents which indicate police concluded the bulldozer was too heavy for the truck that was towing it and that it wasn’t secured properly. But the driver allegedly lied about both points at the scene of the crash to investigators. Now he’s in big trouble.

    Back in October, the man was arrested and hit with several felony charges. Obviously, this is an ongoing legal case so the man who was towing the bulldozer is considered innocent until proven guilty in court. But police seem confident enough that he lied and was at fault.

    It seems that he was at the scene as well as a second person from the company. Who was actually behind the wheel when it happened is not known for sure. Nobody’s talking, or admitting to being the person operating the truck.

    They need to continue investigating until they determine who was where at what time, that way they can file the appropriate charges against the appropriate person(s).
