SAN JUAN COUNTY, Utah, May 12, 2020 (Gephardt Daily) — Officials have identified a woman killed in a crash on State Route 191 in San Juan County Sunday night.

The deceased is Zuhra Samadi, 26, of Salt Lake City, a Tuesday news release from Utah Highway Patrol said.

The three-vehicle crash at mile post 78 occurred just before 10 p.m.

“A black Ford F-350 pulling a 25-foot enclosed trailer was traveling northbound in front of a red Chevrolet Tahoe,” an earlier news release said. “The Tahoe was attempting to pass the Ford in a no passing zone when it collided, head-on, with a silver Dodge Ram pickup traveling in the opposite direction.”

The Tahoe was then pushed into the Ford’s trailer where both vehicles and trailer continued northbound veering off to the shoulder. The Dodge came to a stop in southbound lanes.

Samadi, the driver of the Tahoe, died on scene as a result of her injuries. The 2-year-old passenger in the Tahoe was taken to a local hospital with non life-threatening injuries, the news release said.

The driver and passenger of the Dodge Ram were also taken to a local hospital with minor injuries. All five occupants of the Ford were treated and released on scene.

Crews were on scene for nearly four hours through the night and returned Monday to complete their investigation.

Gephardt Daily will have more on this developing story as information is made available.
