The identity of the two people who died in a head-on collision Sunday in Duchesne County have been released by the Utah Highway Patrol. 18-year-old Devin Kirk of Heber City and 46-year-old Shauna Allen from Wales, Utah were both killed. According to the Utah Highway Patrol, a 1995 Chrysler was traveling eastbound with Kirk as the driver and two passengers on SR-87 at about mile marker 30 near Ioka on July 23rd at 4:36pm. A 2008 Hyundai was traveling westbound in the same area with Allen as the driver and four passengers when the driver of the Chrysler, Kirk, suddenly drove left, crossing the center line and drove into the westbound lane. “The Chrysler collided head-on with the Hyundai,” reports UHP. “The significant crush of the crash caused the death of the driver of the Chrysler and the driver of the Hyundai.” Neither speed nor impairment are suspected as contributing factors in the crash. A 12-year-old female traveling in the Hyundai also sustained serious injuries and was flown to a local hospital for treatment. All other injuries were reported as minor to none.
