A man from Utah is facing charges after he rolled his UTV while allegedly driving under the influence of drugs, and his 2-year-old son was injured in the wreck.
On December 25, a man in Richfield was driving a UTV with a 2-year-old, 8-year-old, and 10-year-old as passengers. It was reported that the toddler was in the front seat with a regular seat belt on, and the older children were in the back wearing their seatbelts.
The man reported that his door opened. The UTV went sliding off the road, and he was ejected. When he attempted to get back on, the vehicle began to roll. Two people nearby saw the wreck and went over to try to assist. They notified the authorities. The pair worked to get the 2-year-old out from under the wreck, and when they retrieved him, they noticed his head was bleeding.
