Utah Governor Spencer Cox has also extended his condolences, remembering Richard as a friend and exceptional leader. The tragic accident has raised discussions about safety on Highway 39. A petition has emerged, advocating for restrictions on the types of vehicles permitted on this narrow, two-lane passageway.

The petition highlights the risks posed by larger vehicles navigating the hazardous route through Ogden Canyon. With over 1,700 signatures so far, the petition calls for measures to enhance safety and prevent future tragedies on Highway 39.

Let’s stand together to support the safety of our loved ones and residents of Weber County. Show your support by signing the petition and help make daily commuting in our beautiful canyon much safer.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Hendrickson family and all those impacted by this heartbreaking accident.
