The authorities ordered half of the trucks pulled over during a recent operation off the road based on safety violations that were found during inspections, the Park City Police Department said.
The Police Department and the Utah Highway Patrol conducted the operation, held on a morning and early afternoon in early April. The police said eight trucks were inspected. Of those, four were taken out of service based on safety violations.
The police said the inspectors found 52 violations among the eight trucks, an average of nearly seven violations per vehicle. There were 11 violations found that were categorized as serious enough to warrant a vehicle be taken out of service.
