A Nevada woman was killed in a car crash in Utah while traveling to
her mother's funeral Saturday, the Utah Highway Patrol said.
Danielle Valle, 48, of Mesquite, Nevada, died
after she was thrown from the truck she was riding in after the vehicle
slid on a wet and icy highway, struck a median and rolled several times
at around 7 a.m., the patrol said.
Another woman who was thrown from the truck suffered serious
injuries in the crash on northbound I-15 south of the town of Beaver and
was flown by helicopter to a hospital, and the driver was transported
by ambulance to a hospital, police said. Neither woman was wearing a
seat belt, police said.
Valle was on her way to her mother's funeral in
Salt Lake and state police said it is believed the vehicle was carrying
the mother's ashes. Police were looking for the ashes Saturday and if
found will return them to family members in Utah, the patrol said.
