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.
