SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah woman was killed and her husband was injured in a crash on U.S. Highway 93 in Wickenburg, Arizona, on Wednesday.
According to Raul Garcia with the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the crash occurred at 8:18 p.m. on southbound U.S. 93, approximately 60 miles northwest of Phoenix. Garcia said a white Toyota Tundra pickup truck was passing vehicles southbound in a legal passing zone but "failed to complete the pass and collided head-on with a white Volvo commercial truck tractor pulling a trailer loaded with home goods."
Police said the female passenger of the Toyota pickup truck died on impact. The male driver was taken to a hospital with critical injuries and burns. The driver of the Volvo was taken to the hospital as a precaution.
Garcia said the roadway was closed for over six hours as a result of the crash.
A GoFundMe* page set up to provide financial support for the family identified the woman who died as Chloe Stott. Her husband, Parker Stott, remains in the hospital, according to the site.
"On Wednesday Dec. 20, Parker and Chloe Stott were heading home to Arizona from Utah to spend Christmas with their families. They had just found out they were pregnant with a baby and were so excited to be parents and share the news with their loved ones over Christmas. At 8:30 p.m. Wednesday evening they were involved in a tragic car accident that took the life of Chloe and their precious baby boy. Parker was (flown) to the Arizona Burn Center where he is under intense care to save his life," the fundraising page states.
