Utah troopers say a Phoenix, Arizona woman is dead and her three children are injured after a wheel on their pickup truck failed.
The crash happened a little before 3 p.m. Sunday on Interstate 70 in Utah, near mile marker 201.

The car rolled, and 51-year-old Rita Miramontes was ejected. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
