Update: The Department of Public Safety reported Monday that the man who was in critical condition died Wednesday, Nov. 26. The man was identified by DPS as Michael Hester, 35, and the woman killed was his wife Angela Hester, 41. The couple was reportedly from Washington.


WILLARD — A woman is dead and a man was in critical condition after they crashed in a single car on Tuesday night. After the car came to rest, they were hit by another car that ultimately took the woman’s life, according to the Utah Department of Public Safety.

On Tuesday just after 10 p.m., the man was driving south in a blue Prius and the woman rode in the passenger seat. Near milepost 354, the Prius crashed into the concrete barrier on the left shoulder of the highway and stopped. Authorities said the crash was likely due to weather conditions on the roadway.

The man exited the car and the woman opened her door but remained inside, DPS said. At that point, a Ford Expedition SUV struck the man who was still outside of the car. It continued and hit the Prius head-on near the front passenger side, killing the woman.

The man was taken to the hospital in critical condition. No occupants of the Ford Expedition were injured, according to DPS.
