Hooser and Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Dustin Griffiths stopped the semitrailer around 6:30 a.m. in Santaquin, 65 miles south of Salt Lake City, after an anonymous 911 caller reported that a person was standing on the back of the rig as it traveled north on Interstate 15. Who, if anyone, was riding on the back of the semitrailer was still being investigated, police said.
Jayne then gunned his truck toward Griffiths and the woman, but they jumped out of the way to escape being hit. At Hooser’s funeral Monday, his youngest daughter, Courtney, described her father as a hero and said she was heartbroken that he can’t walk her down the aisle later this year.
