Truck driver arrested after boulder falls off truck, kills 2
By Nick Ferraro / St. Paul Pioneer Press Today at 3:43 p.m.

HASTINGS, Minn.—A Hastings man is jailed in connection with the deaths of a Shoreview mother and daughter who were killed Monday when a boulder — 3 feet across and weighing 800 pounds — fell off a dump truck and crashed into their car, police said.

On Wednesday, Rosemount police detectives identified Czeck Services as the company that owned the truck involved in the crash and determined that its owner — Joseph Paul Czeck, 33 — was the driver, Rosemount Police Chief Mitchell Scott said.

Czeck, who did not stop at the scene, was arrested Wednesday and booked at Dakota County Jail on two counts of criminal vehicular homicide, pending formal charges.

Not relevant to the story, but I lived in Shoreview and was a choral director in Hastings................ many moons ago.

How could he not stop at the scene?  Horrible tragedy.   **nononono*

Only 800 pounds out of a dump truck?  Might very well not have noticed it.

Might have had more carnage, if it had been the calliope.


With a boulder on my shoulder
Feeling kinda older
I tripped a merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing
Sneezing and wheezing
The calliope crashed to the ground

I bet the driver failed to stay back 100 feet.  She should have been ticketed for following to close.

Never thought of that.

Never driven a dump truck.  ^-^

@The Ghost, they were in the opposite lane, oncoming traffic.  Dude stopped, saw what happened then drove away.  Deserves what he gets IMO.
