Accident in Provo Wednesday - Heading to Moab?

[kirk86CJ]

I heard part of a news story that a guy heading to moab lost control and hit a semi in I-15. My wife said the person was pulling a jeep and a 4 wheeler, but I didn't hear that on the story I saw. The truck looked like a 1/2 ton green 4 door Ford. the news said he may have been illegal (overloaded) and may be charged.

Anybody know who this was, or why they are saying he was overloaded?

I hope for his sake he wasn't illegal.

If it was a 1/2 ton Ford like my F150 Supercrew, they are only rated to 8500 lbs for towing. If he was dragging more than that, or perhaps didn't have brakes on the trailer, then I'm sure they can cite him.

I think I ran a trail with this kid friday, he said he totaled his ford with a grand cherokee on the trailer and then rented a new jk and came to moab anyways...
