As we’ve reported a head-on crash on Saturday morning South of Heber sent a young couple from Duchesne to the hospital in critical condition. Utah Highway Patrol is now reporting that the young woman has died.

Shantell Youngand her husband Macoy were driving on US 40 Saturday morning between Strawberry Reservoir and Heber when a man driving a stolen car crossed into the opposite lane and crashed into the Young’s head on.
