LAYTON, Utah — A serious car crash Monday left a mother in serious condition and led to the death of her 2-year-old child the following day from injuries related to the crash. The crash occurred Monday when the woman’s vehicle heading eastbound was struck by a snowplow attempting to enter the freeway at state Route 193 and Fort Lane, according to police.
