A police pursuit ended in a fiery explosion Tuesday night after officers tried to catch a man they believe stole a truck and trailer.
It was an arrest that bystanders, and even law enforcement, have never seen before.“Exhilarating. Nauseating. Insane,” said Denim Blackham, who witnessed the arrest and explosion. “It was just crazy.”
According to arrest documents, the vehicle was “traveling at a high rate of speed and drove into oncoming traffic numerous times.” Cutler said the driver, 39-year-old Trent Kezior, crashed in a Zion’s Bank parking lot in the Daybreak area in South Jordan. He sat in the front seat of the truck for minutes as it caught fire.
“I’d say he was probably just railing on the gas, redlining it, blasting it. Trying to blow up the truck for about fifteen minutes,” said Blackham.
