An Ogden man, charged with a DUI after refusing detox treatment, has been implicated in a series of hit-and-run incidents resulting in severe injuries and the death of a pedestrian, as per official documents. Tyson Bryce Treasure, 26, faces multiple charges, according to ABC4.
On the night of December 27, Treasure reportedly began his destructive trail upon leaving Ogden Regional Medical Center, where staff had said he came in intoxicated but fled after refusing detox treatment. "A male had come to the hospital intoxicated but has since refused detox treatment and fled," as obtained by KUTV. This refusal was shortly followed by his first hit-and-run in the hospital's parking lot, where he was identified as the truck's driver by hospital staff.
The events escalated when Treasure's vehicle, a Silver Dodge Ram truck, was associated with several reckless driving incidents, including running red lights, which led to multiple accidents and injuries. Tragically, his actions resulted in the death of a pedestrian and severe injuries to others. A pedestrian was killed and one driver "suffered severe injuries to face," documents elaborate, as Treasure collided with vehicles at different intersections, as reported by ABC4.
After a string of hit-and-runs, the suspect allegedly T-boned a vehicle after running a red light at 12th and Harrison. This specific collision led to major injuries for the driver of the other car. As Treasure continued his escape, he collided with two additional vehicles at another intersection, causing one car to strike a pedestrian, as per KSLTV.
Eventually, Treasure was apprehended and during the police interview, officers noted "the odor of alcoholic beverages emanating" from him. Treasure allegedly admitted to having consumed alcohol earlier that day. He was arrested on 12 charges, including driving under the influence and failure to remain at an accident involving death among others. His decisions and actions have led to devastating consequences for the injured parties and the family of the deceased pedestrian, echoing a profound sense of loss in the Ogden community.
