A Utah CEO and his teenage daughter have been identified as the victims of a fatal car crash after a bulldozer fell on top of their vehicle.

Richard David Hendrickson, CEO and president of outdoor furniture company Lifetime Products, and his 16-year-old daughter Sally died in the collision at Ogden Canyon in Utah on Saturday, July 6, Utah Highway Patrol announced in a news release.

The tragic incident occurred at around 12:49 p.m. local time as “a tow truck carrying a mini bulldozer traveling eastbound” in the opposite direction of Hendrickson, 57, and his family negotiated “a right-hand curve” while passing them, ejecting the bulldozer onto their GMC pickup that had been towing a boat, per the release.

Hendrickson and Sally were pronounced dead at the scene. Two other adult passengers left with non-life-threatening injuries, the release states.

Hendrickson was described by the Lifetime Products statement as “more than a company leader.” 

“He was ... a visionary and a friend to many within our business and the wider community,” it said, in part. “His ability to connect with people bound all of his other talents together in a very special way."
