HEBER, Utah-- More than trucks and drivers were banged up after a demolition derby in Heber Saturday night.
At about 9:00 pm a truck in the Wasatch County Demolition Derby was hit and rolled on its side. When the truck rolled back down, the drive shaft snapped off and flew 30 rows deep into the bleacher section, Director of Wasatch Parks and Recreation Tom Bonner said.
