Brakes may be culprit in truck driver's death
Just after 3 p.m., Devin Cordes, of Orem, was driving two trailers full of gravel near 13500 South on the Bangerter Highway when, according to a preliminary investigation, something went wrong with the brakes, Draper Police Sgt. Gerry Allred said.
The truck was heading out of the Suncrest Project area, he said.
Cordes lost control of the load on a curve and was killed instantly when the cab was crushed by the heavy load, Allred said.
Traffic was delayed as crews cleared the scene of the accident.
The name of the company Cordes was working for was not released, pending further investigation.
