The community is rallying around a local family after a tragic accident on Monday evening. Utah Highway Patrol reported that winter conditions including snow, winds, and icy roads caused a vehicle to lose control, resulting in the death of the driver and serious injuries to the passenger. The family has identified that the life lost was 43-year-old Shandi Perry and the passenger was her husband Greg Perry. The couple was traveling back from medical appointments for Greg when the accident occurred a few miles from arriving home to Vernal. The family was already dealing with growing medical bills and loss of wages before the accident so friends and family have mounted fundraising efforts to help as the family now has additional medical bills and a funeral to plan. A raffle has been organized with prizes including a guided pheasant hunt, Nebo spotlight, and other gear and prizes. Tickets can be purchased at Jones Paint Glass in Vernal or through Venmo @Kyle-Allred-21. Four Brothers Pizza has an uncooked pizza fundraiser underway to benefit the Perry family. And for those that would just like to make a donation right to the family, an account has been set up at Wells Fargo. Just tell them you would like to donate to the ‘Shandi Perry Memorial Fund
