Ryan Adams, of South Ogden, stands in front of his wrecked truck on Friday. The pickup he used for his small construction company was stolen and totaled on Dec. 21. Adams, the father of five, had only liability insurance and needs the truck for his work, so friends have set up an account for contributions at Goldenwest Credit Union.

No Mayan apocalypse but close for S. Ogden man whose stolen truck was totaled on Dec. 21

SOUTH OGDEN — The so-called Mayan apocalypse didn’t happen Dec. 21, but Ryan Adams’ world came crashing down anyway when his pickup truck was stolen and wrecked, possibly dooming his small construction company.

“It’s just unbelievable,” Adams said. “It’s unreal that it would happen in South Ogden.”

Adams, 38, owner and sole employee of Adams Quality Construction, bought the 2002 Chevrolet Silverado about six months ago for $9,000 to haul his equipment trailer.

However, Adams only had liability insurance on the truck, which means he can’t receive a settlement to replace the vehicle because it was demolished after it was stolen.
