A 41-year-old man was charged Monday with automobile homicide and driving under the influence after killing six people and injuring two others when he reportedly careened a dump truck over a freeway median into oncoming traffic.
Jamie Don McKenzie — who has a record of impaired driving and alcohol violations dating back to 1997 — faces eight felony counts with a potential sentence of up to 100 years in prison for all combined.
Utah Highway Patrol troopers have said McKenzie was driving a dump truck west on State Route 40 near Jordanelle Reservoir on Friday.
