SANTAQUIN, Utah — A Santaquin Sergeant who died after allegedly being hit by a semi-truck driver on the highway has been publicly identified.
"Just on a personal note, I know everybody says this when an officer gets killed but Sgt. Hooser was one of those guys that was really squared away," said Chief Rod Hurst with the Santaquin Police Department. "Nothing could ever make up for the loss we feel, we take comfort in knowing Bill died a hero, doing the job he loved," Michael said."Serving people he loved."
UHP Col. Michael Rapich said Monday afternoon that, thankfully, the trooper who responded to the initial call was not injured.
