East-side crash forces evacuation

Kudos to Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office, Unified Fire and the Utah Highway Patrol. It was an enormous emergency situation and both agencies served its citizens well. Captain Russell from the UFD was an exceptional PIO spokesperson and has a background in Hasmat. An outstanding performance by the Sheriff's Office, too, who sent ambulances to help evacuate elderly residences. This extra precaution, I'm sure, provided assurance to the elderly that they would be safe. The Highway Patrol did an excellent job in shutting down the freeway and keeping the public updated on events.

It is especially nice to know that during an emergency situation both all agencies can get put their differences aside and get the job done.

Yesterday it was reported that the Truckdriver was CRITICAL,today its a bump on the head WHICH IS IT? Oh an kudos for the haz-mat team and the other emergancy responders doing there jobs and blah blah blah.
