SALT LAKE CITY – Sarah Frei loves hiking and wakeboarding, but the thing she misses most is cruising on her red motorcycle with her father trailing just behind.
The open-road quality time is now a memory that I will cherish forever, because I won t get it back, Frei, 18, told a Utah judge Friday.
Almost a year ago, a pickup truck in Logan Canyon swerved and crashed into a car carrying Frei and three friends on their way back from vacation at Bear Lake, partially paralyzing Frei and injuring the other three. Two now have routine panic attacks, while another says the images from that night are seared in his memory.
A man who injured four teenagers in a Logan Canyon crash was ordered to serve consecutive prison sentences after an emotional in-person sentencing in 1st District Court on Monday.
Nearly 100 court observers, most of whom participated online, watched as Dustin Wesley Andersen was taken away by bailiffs in a sight hardly seen since the COVID-19 pandemic hampered in-person proceedings in the court.
Andersen, 46, pleaded guilty on March 15 to four counts of driving under the influence â two third-degree felonies and two class-A misdemeanors. Prosecutors say Andersen crossed a double yellow line and careened his pickup head-on into a southbound Kia occupied by the teenagers.

Dustin Wesley Andersen, 46, appeared in 1st District Court on Monday for a hearing on whether or not sentencing in his case would take place in-person. Judge Brandon Maynard found exigent circumstances for an in-person sentencing and allowed each victim and Andersen to have two “support people” present during the proceeding.
