SALT LAKE CITY — It’s been more than three years since 6-year-old Edison Kimball was killed as a result of a multi-vehicle crash on I-215 in Murray .

The vehicle he was in was destroyed after being rear-ended by a tractor-trailer.

On Tuesday, the driver of that big rig made his first court appearance.

This accident happened all the way back in September 2022. But after years of investigation by the Utah Highway Patrol and different court maneuverings, the prime suspect in all of this, Vladimir Chiley, finally had his day in court.
