The traffic light had been red for at least 7.5 seconds when a green truck barreled into Mountain View Corridor’s intersection with Rosecrest Road (14400 South) and crashed into two other vehicles, injuring five and killing a baby girl.
The driver of the truck, 26-year-old Lawrence Probert of Kearns, was charged in 3rd District Court on Friday. He’s facing four felonies — including second-degree felony manslaughter and third-degree felony driving under the influence of drugs — and several misdemeanors.
Two minutes before the 7:16 p.m. crash Monday, witnesses reported a reckless driver speeding — officers later calculated Probert traveling between 90 and 120 miles per hour — north on Mountain View Corridor, according to court documents.
