The officer has not been criminally charged in connection with the fatal wreck. The Summit County Attorney’s Office said Monday that it plans to announce early next week whether the officer will face criminal charges.
The Salt Lake Tribune obtained the Spencer family’s notice of claim — the first step toward filing a lawsuit or reaching a settlement with a government agency — on Wednesday through a public records request. The document identifies the officer who crashed into Spencer in Provo on March 16, 2021, but The Tribune isn’t identifying him at this time.
The legal notice filed by the Spencer family alleges that the officer was driving 55 mph on 900 East, where the speed limit is 35 mph. The notice also alleges that the deputy “braked his vehicle and negligently steered his vehicle to the left,” causing him to collide with Spencer’s car in the southbound lanes of 900 East.
Randall Spencer said the family hasn’t received a response to its legal claim and intends to file suit. Spencer liked fantasy novels and movies, video games, theater, music and role-playing games, his obituary reads, and he enjoyed spending time with his large family.
