Troopers say a Rich County Sheriff's Office deputy who was hit by a semi near Laketown is lucky to be alive.
According to the Utah Highway Patrol, Sgt. Cade Brenchley, the deputy was one of the officers working on an investigation involving a semi and another vehicle in Laketown Canyon at the runaway ramp.
Another semi driver reportedly came upon the accident and lost control of his vehicle, causing it to roll toward the rocks near the ramp; the deputy was struck by the semi in the process.
Brenchley said the deputy suffered broken bones and is en route to Logan Regional Hospital. The driver of the semi has minor injuries as well and is also being transported to the hospital.
Both crashes remain under investigation. In the meantime both directions of State Road 30 were closed for about an hour.

ED note: Jon Nichol is home after three days and doing well. He was hit and run over by the semi and survived which friends and relatives call a real miracle. Jason Wade Matthews said, "No question, hands down has to be the toughest man alive! His survival has no logical explanation, Jon is here with us because he has a higher purpose. He wasn’t done yet. What a story for the grandkids!"
