Corey Chesney, a 38-year-old inmate who said jail guards broke his back and stopped his kosher meals, pleaded no contest to reduced felony charges and remains held in Utah County jail on $4,000 bail while facing a pending assault charge—he entered the plea deal to secure his release from Weber County.

They advise residents to stay cautious around the river until conditions improve.

Starting Friday, US-6 through Spanish Fork Canyon will have one lane in each direction from Diamond Fork Road to the US-89 junction as UDOT begins installing concrete medians, better lights, and improved drainage—meant to reduce head-on crashes.

The project is part of a corridor upgrade valued at $148 million and will work around busy holiday weekends to finish before winter.
