Charges filed against the driver of a dump truck that made a left-hand turn in front of UPS driver Alan Christofferson resulting in a fatal car accident in Tooele, Utah, are being dropped. According to KSL news, the Tooele County attorney’s office says there was “human error” at the crime lab in testing the driver’s blood. In fact, a retest showed “triple zeros” for the dump truck driver Steven Jakeman. We are told that charges of failure to yield and failure to provide a valid license will still be made.

I’m glad that the Tooele County Attorney’s office brought this information to light. The driver, whose actions led to this Tooele truck accident, obviously shouldn’t have to face an added penalty based on false evidence. Yet he should still be held accountable for the consequences of his actions.
