The driver of the truck involved in a crash that killed two firemen is being held in jail, pending formal charges against him.

The 28-year-old from Baraga, Michigan, was booked into Anoka County Jail Saturday, and is being held on a charge of felony criminal vehicular homicide in connection to the fatal crash, according to the jail roster. (BringMeTheNews does not typically name suspects until they have been formally charged.)

He was among 11 firefighters – all members of the Beartown Firefighters of the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community in Michigan – who were traveling in a caravan to assist in fighting a wildfire in Box Canyon, Utah, when the truck crashed in Blaine, Minnesota, according to the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community Facebook page.
