GROUSE CREEK, Box Elder County — A pregnant woman was seriously injured and lost her baby in a collision Sunday afternoon.

The crash took place at 4:32 p.m, according to a Utah Department of Public Safety release. A 2000 GMC Sierra pickup truck was heading south on state Route 16 near mile marker 23 when it drifted left and into the northbound lane, striking a 2020 Ford F-150.

The front passenger of the pickup, a woman who was eight months pregnant, sustained serious injuries in the crash and was taken to the hospital via medical helicopter. UDPS stated it was later determined that she had lost the baby as a result of a crash.

UDPS suspects the driver of the pickup fell asleep, which caused him to drift into the northbound lane.
