5 of the 6 killed in Utah highway crash were from Honduras
Authorities say five of the six men killed last week when a dump truck collided with a pickup truck on a Utah state highway were from Honduras.
Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Nick Street said Monday that authorities are coordinating with Honduran consular officials to inform the victim’s families before making their identities public.
They were killed Friday when a dump truck driven by 41-year-old Jamie Don McKenzie crossed a median and hit the pickup south of Park City, Utah.
The Hondurans were passengers in the pickup driven by 62-year-old Efrain O. Cardenas of Salt Lake City, who also died.
McKenzie is jailed on suspicion of six counts of vehicular homicide and driving under the influence causing serious injury.
It’s unknown if McKenzie has an attorney.
