Men Throwing Fireworks Leave Window Up

SALT LAKE CITY -
Two men planning to throw lighted fireworks from a car were burned when they forgot to roll down the window.
"They lit a large
mortar rocket firework" and were going to throw it out the window, Salt Lake County sheriff's Sgt. John Barker
said. "The passenger threw it out the window, but he forgot to roll the window down. It bounced back in his lap."
Adam Weber, 24, was
in fair condition Thursday at the Intermountain Burn Unit at University Hospital with second and third degree burns
on his arms, legs and torso.
"He's going to be in a lot of pain. I don't think it's life-threatening, but he's going to have a hard
time. It's going to be a long process to get him healed up," Barker said.
The driver, Jared Williams, only had minor burns to
his back.
The
accident happened about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The investigation has been turned over to the Unified Fire
Authority. An officer told KSL-TV any charges filed likely would be just misdemeanors.
