Man Arrested for DUI in Fatal Crash

Patrick James Sneddon, 59, has been arrested by the Colorado State Patrol for his alleged role in a fatal crash on September 4 in Mesa County, which resulted in the deaths of two Colorado Department of Transportation employees and a passenger in his Jeep. The crash occurred when Sneddon's Jeep swerved off Highway 6, striking the CDOT workers, Trent Umberger and Nathan Jones, who were performing roadside duties, and subsequently rolling over, killing passenger Kathi Ann Wallace. Sneddon faces multiple charges including three counts of vehicular homicide while driving under the influence, two counts of failure to yield the right of way to a stationary public service utility vehicle, and driving under the influence. The incident has raised concerns about roadside safety and the importance of adhering to the 'Move Over' law. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty.
