SALT LAKE COUNTY — A 48-year-old man has been arrested after pushing a woman from a moving vehicle in Sardine Canyon, officials said Monday night.
According to Lt. Lee Perry with Utah Highway Patrol, the incident occurred around 3:15 p.m. near mile marker 13.
Perry said 48-year-old Daniel Talbot was driving a pickup truck and is accused of slowing down to 10 – 15 mph and pushing out a 51-year-old woman.
The victim was taken to Logan Regional Hospital.
Perry said a witness spotted Talbot on Interstate 15 in Davis County and called UHP.
Perry said Talbot drove through Davis and Salt Lake counties and eventually headed east on I-80.
The suspect then exited the freeway at 1300 East.
