GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.—A California trucker could face charges after his semitrailer rolled on Interstate 70 in Utah, scattering a load of tomatoes about two miles from the Colorado border.
Utah Highway Patrolman Cameron Roden says 36-year-old Daniel C. Cox of Riverside, Calif., was driving east around 4 a.m. Tuesday when he descended a hill too fast and couldn’t negotiate a curve in the road. He says Cox suffered minor injuries.
Roden says the wrecked semitrailer was struck later by another eastbound vehicle. Roden says an adult and child in that vehicle were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
Roden says Cox was hauling tomatoes from California to Loveland. He expected Cox to be cited for undetermined traffic violations.
