[5][6][7] At around 8:21 AM, 61-year-old truck driver, Donald Hardy was supposed to deliver a shipment from Tennessee to South Salt Lake, Utah when the wind knocked him to the ground, causing him to hit his head hard on the pavement.

[8] Governor Gary Herbert called the Utah National Guard and declared a state of emergency.

The previous time the Utah National Guard was called was for the 2011 Davis County windstorm.

Then a cold front swept through from the east Monday night (September 7) into Tuesday morning.

Temperatures were brought from the 90s down to the 40s Fahrenheit, while snow flurries were also reported in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area.
