Salt Lake City, UT : Woman killed, trooper injured in Separate Highway 201 Collisions in Magna on Wednesday, April 15, 2015

A woman died Wednesday in a crash on state Route 201 and a Utah Highway Patrol trooper was injured while responding to the scene.

The initial crash occurred about 7 p.m. on an on-ramp leading to I-80 at the Magna and West Valley City exit, Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Todd Royce said.

The woman who died was driving a small sedan when she lost control of her vehicle due to slick weather conditions, said UHP Lt. Mike Loveland. The sedan struck a guard rail and then stalled, Loveland said, and an SUV traveling in the same route rear-ended the woman. She was killed at the scene.

The name and age of the woman were not immediately released.

A UHP trooper who responded to the crash was hit and pinned inside her car for a time. She suffered minor injuries.

The roads in the area were snow packed and slick. The adverse weather played a role in the crash, according to Loveland.
