A West Valley City man accused of being high when he hit and killed two women appeared in court on Tuesday.

Michael Sleeter is facing four misdemeanor charges for the March deaths of Andrea Fuguel and Erica Warneke. The two women were walking across 3300 South and Redwood Road when they were hit by Sleeter's truck.

Prosecutors determined that although there were drugs in Sleeter's system at the time of the crash, his truck's faulty breaks caused the accident.

A pretrial hearing is scheduled for June 12.

Two families talked with FOX 13 about how their lives were impacted from teen suicide.

The Kirk family’s son, Tanner, survived an attempted suicide — but not without lifelong injuries. Tanner suffers from a condition called dystonia.

Tanner was 13 when he tried to hang himself. His family says he was an active kid who liked to play sports and did well in school. Tanner says he does not remember why he wanted to die, while his mother says she does not understand what went wrong.

“I didn’t see the signs of depression and it wasn’t like I was naive,” said Tanner’s mother Shelsee Kirk.

After two years, Tanner is still learning to deal with dystonia, a neurological disorder that has made him dependent on a wheelchair and needing a device to vocalize for him. The most basic of tasks are a challenge for him.

West Valley City Police are preparing charges against a 50-year-old man who is accused of trying to sexually assault his 18-year-old cousin.

Police say Taniela Kinikini asked the young woman for help moving something in his apartment where he then tried to assault her. She stabbed him in the shoulder and escaped.

Kinikini was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. He will be arrested once he’s released.
