The Utah Highway Patrol confirmed that a Valentine's Day crash on Highway 40 near Heber has claimed a fourth life.
UHP Sgt. Todd Royce said that Darci J. Winger, 45, of Payson, died of her injuries on Tuesday — one week after being involved in a head-on collision that killed three other people.
Troopers still are awaiting results of blood tests to determine if alcohol or drugs may have been factors in the collision.
About 7:20 a.m. on Feb. 14, an eastbound Honda Civic driven by Miguel J. Huitron, 27, of Salt Lake City, crossed the center line and hit a westbound Kia Rio. Huitron and a passenger, Cindy A. Cruz, 27, of West Jordan, were pronounced dead at the hospital.
So was the driver of the second car, Christina L. Macinauskas, 29, of Heber City.
Winger, also a passenger in Huitron's car, had been in "very critical" condition at the hospital until her death this week.
The only survivor of the crash, a passenger in Macinauskas' car, suffered serious injuries.
