Description
The recent heroic actions of a Utah first responder are being highlighted in a press conference on the dangers of wrong-way driving.
Colonel Michael Rapich with the Utah Highway Patrol will be on scene at the Police Officer Standards Training Building Thursday afternoon in Sandy to deliver a briefing on the incident in which the UHP Sgt., who remains unidentified, put himself in harms way to stop a wrong-way-driver.
According to Utah Highway officials, the Sgt. intentionally collided with a wrong-way driver on I-80 in Tooele in an effort to prevent any harm to other motorists on the roadway.
While the dash cam footage of this incident has been released, the Sgt.'s identity will not be released until Thursday's media conference.
