The community in Ogden Canyon, Utah, is shocked and saddened by a terrible accident. They were the CEO and president of Lifetime Products, and Sally was their 16-year-old daughter. They died in a terrible accident involving a bulldozer.
On July 6, a tow truck carrying a mini bulldozer hit their GMC pickup, which led to the accident. Both cars were involved in the accident as they went around a right-hand curve on Highway 39.
It’s terrible that the bulldozer got loose from the tow truck and hit the Hendrickson family’s car. Richard, who is 57 years old, and Sally were both in the truck at the time.
The father and daughter were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Two other adults were hurt, but their injuries were not life-threatening. Friends and coworkers are shocked and saddened by Richard’s death. They remember him as a visionary leader who was loved by everyone in the company and the community.
The amazing journey Richard took from being a welder to becoming the CEO and president of Lifetime Products shows how talented and skilled he is. His coworkers and friends are very sad about his death. Barry Mower, the founder of Lifetime Products, said that Richard was one of his closest and most trusted friends.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox has also sent his condolences, saying that he will remember Richard as a friend and a great leader. People are talking about how safe Highway 39 is again after the terrible accident. There is now a petition calling for limits on the types of cars that can use this narrow, two-lane passageway.
The petition brings up the dangers that come with bigger vehicles taking the dangerous route through Ogden Canyon. The petition, which has over 1,700 signatures so far, wants steps to be taken to make Highway 39 safer and stop more tragedies from happening.

Our hearts go out to the Hendrickson family and everyone else who was hurt in this terrible accident.
