Tragic Bulldozer Accident in Utah Claims Father and Daughter Over the Weekend
In Ogden Canyon, an accident resulted in the deaths of the Chief Executive Officer of Lifetime Products and his daughter. It was a tragic accident. On Saturday, Richard David Hendrickson, the CEO and President of Lifetime Products, and his 16-year-old daughter, Sally Hendrickson, both passed away in Ogden Canyon. Sally Hendrickson was killed in the incident.
While Hendrickson was operating his automobile, it collided with a digger that was being transported by a vehicle. The incident is unfortunate. The Utah Highway Patrol’s records indicate that the fatal accident occurred when the bulldozer collided with an object while navigating an abrupt turn.
An account of the incident and additional details
Regrettably, the accident occurred in Ogden Canyon as the tow vehicle navigated a curve. The incident transpired during a sudden right turn in the tunnel. The bulldozer that was being dragged by the car became detached from its chains, skidded across the road, and collided with Hendrickson’s GMC pickup truck, resulting in his death. Hendrickson was pronounced dead at the scene.
Richard and Sally Hendrickson, who were both seated in the vehicle at the time of the accident, passed away immediately following the collision. Fortunately, the injuries sustained by two additional adult passengers in the pickup vehicle were not considered life-threatening at the time of their transport to the hospital. The father and daughter were already severely injured, and there was little that could be done to save them, despite the fact that rescue workers arrived at the site of the accident promptly.
