(KSL News) New details this morning, about a fatal semi truck crash in Box Elder County.
Patrick Williams, 48, of Brigham City was driving the semi, full of packaged beans, east on I-84 outside Tremonton last night, when he veered to the right. The gas tank of the semi crashed into a cement barrier. The semi went up in flames. Williams was trapped inside.
Troopers say the flames were too hot and too quick for anyone to rescue Williams.
Sgt. Brian Nelson/Utah Highway Patrol: "There was too much flames. Witnesses said it was too hot. The flames were pretty big when the first officer arrived."
Troopers don't believe William was speeding. They don't know yet what caused the crash.
