Mapleton woman dies in four-vehicle crash in Spanish Fork

A Mapleton woman was killed Monday night in a four-vehicle crash at an intersection along U.S. 6 in Spanish Fork, police said.

Spanish Fork police say the crash started at 7:44 p.m. Monday night when a 60-year-old man who was driving a Nissan Pathfinder east on U.S. 6, hit a Porsche in the left turn lane at the intersection of 2550 East (also known as Spanish Fork Parkway).

The Porsche — with Jeffrey Palmer, 56, of Mapleton, driving and Angela Marie Palmer, 54, also of Mapleton, in the passenger seat — was then pushed into the back of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, carrying a male driver and female passenger.

The Pathfinder kept going east, hitting a Hyundai waiting to turn from the westbound left turn lane.

Angela Palmer was taken to a local hospital, and died there a short time after. Jeffrey Palmer was also taken by ambulance to a local hospital, where he was in intensive care on Tuesday, police said.

The Pathfinder driver apparently suffered from some kind of medical condition before hitting the Porsche, police said. He was transported by ambulance to a local hospital, but his injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.

The driver and passenger of the Harley were ejected from the motorcycle, and were injured. They were taken by ambulance to a local hospital. Their injuries apparently were not life-threatening.

The Hyundai driver, a male, was treated at the scene and released.

Spanish Fork police have not released the names of anyone in the accident except the Palmers.
