A man accused of using his car to intentionally hit another man riding a scooter, killing him, may have believed the victim was seeking a protective order against him, according to court records.
SALT LAKE CITY —
A witness said the car that hit Hershberger "flipped around and literally went on the other side of the road and slammed hard from behind and kept going," while a second witness stated that "she observed Hershberger crossing the street, when 'a red Honda flipped around at the same time and intentionally ran him over and took off,'" according to charging documents.
"Detectives believe Boyatt had been camping in the nearby mountains to evade capture," Salt Lake police said following his arrest, adding that Boyatt had "been on a vengeance spree."
