A Utah police officer lost his life in a tragic incident on Sunday when a semi-truck driver attempted to flee a traffic stop and struck the officer, leading to a lengthy manhunt that culminated in the driver's arrest, as per authorities.
The incident unfolded when a 911 call reported a person standing on the back of a big rig's trailer traveling north on Interstate 15. A Santaquin police officer and a Utah Highway Patrol trooper responded to the call and initiated a traffic stop on the semi-truck about 30 minutes later.
