Kanab, UT : Arizona woman dies in head-on crash with truck near Kanab on Tuesday, January 24, 2017
An Arizona woman was killed when her car collided with a truck in the process of making a turn off of U.S. 89 in southern Utah.
Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Todd Royce said the crash occurred at 3:50 p.m. Tuesday in Johnson Canyon, about 10 miles northwest of Kanab.
A Dodge flatbed truck hauling a trailer loaded with top soil had slowed and moved into the oncoming lane, intending to make a left turn into a driveway off the highway.
That was when a Hyundai Accent sedan, driven by 59-year-old Sharon McCoy, of Kingman, Ariz., slammed into the truck head-on.
McCoy, who was not believed to be wearing her seatbelt, was dead at the scene.
The truck's driver, also without a seatbelt, escaped with minor injuries, Royce said.
The accident remained under investigation.
