EAGLE MOUNTAIN – A woman seriously injured in a six-car crash on Cory B. Wride Memorial Highway Wednesday shared what she remembers of the crash, and how severe her husband’s injuries are.
According to the Utah County Sheriff’s Office, 50-year-old Paul Todd was driving west on the highway in a white pickup truck and tried to pass traffic. He ended up hitting Tim and Dana Smith’s black GMC Canyon pick-up truck head-on.
Police cited the other driver for unsafe passing, failure to yield to the right of way, and having no insurance on the vehicle.
Dana Smith said when she sees pictures of her truck it’s almost unrecognizable to her. She and her husband were heading to a doctor’s appointment when they were hit.
“I was tired, so I leaned back and just shut my eyes, and next thing I know I’m waking up in the ambulance,” she said.
Dana Smith was released from the hospital Saturday, but her husband is still admitted and could be for some time.
