The thing that keeps being left out of this story is that the police were in a pursuit of another car and a police car hit this elderly man who was not involved. This mad was burned in the accident and was unconscious at the hospital.
What I think the LEO was trying to do is get a blood sample and spike it to fail to make the accident LEO, maybe himself, the victim in the crash and to frame the crash victim.

You need to read up on what happened! Your account is incorrect. The Logan PD was chasing a pickup that hit an 18-wheeler head on. It was the driver of that rig who was in a coma in the U of U hospital burn unit. So the SLC PD was at the hospital to get a blood sample at the request of the Logan PD. The Logan PD was possibly culpable for the accident because they were chasing the pickup, so you may well be correct that the blood draw was an attempt to find some way to charge the guy with some sort of contributory negligence by reason of drugs or alcohol.
