How they died

Pursuit

About 9:30 a.m., a Utah County sheriff's deputy pulled over a pickup truck for a registration issue. As the deputy was walking from his patrol car to the truck, the driver, Trevor Pitcher, took off. The chase went from American Fork onto I-15 where the truck took the next exit at Main Street in Lehi, and then went east back into American Fork. The fleeing truck smashed into the passenger side of a other in an intersection, killing Hal Gadd. Pitcher pleaded guilty to misdemeanor reckless endangerment. The Gadd family received an undisclosed settlement from the county. The county revised its pursuit policy after the incident.
