A 21-year-old construction worker was charged with negligent homicide after he lost control of his vehicle in the snow and ice and slid into a pedestrian in Spanish Fork.
Gabriel Hernandez, of Orem, was leaving a construction site in Spanish Fork around noon on Thursday when his vehicle started to slide in the snow and slush on the road near 2000 East and 100 South, according to police. The vehicle slid into an 83-year-old man who was checking his mail, killing him.
