Man Drowns in Pineview Reservoir
Jul. 30, 2004
A 46-year-old man died, this afternoon, when his RV plummeted into Pineview Reservoir in Weber County.
Sheriff's deputies say his vehicle failed to make a corner on State Road 39, left the road and headed directly for the water.
Witnesses say the RV skidded over several hundred feet of gravel, flew over an embankment, landed in the lake and sank.
He was the only person in the RV.
Divers retrieved the RV, with the man still inside.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators aren't sure why the RV left the road or how the man died.
They say, it appears, he never even applied his brakes.
