ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) -- Prosecutors in Washington County say they won't file criminal charges against a Utah Highway Patrol trooper involved in a crash that killed two sisters in St. George.
Seventy-one-year-old Karen Gummow and 75-year-old Ila Jean Moore died March 10 after their car collided with a trooper's as he was responding to a series of crashes on Interstate 15.
Deputy County Attorney Brian Filter said Tuesday prosecutors didn't find enough evidence to charge Trooper Lars Gardener with a crime.
Gardener was placed on administrative leave after the accident. Patrol spokesman Sgt. Jeff Nigbur said he returned to work March 30.
