KANE COUNTY, Utah — A Florida woman was charged Wednesday for causing a fatal accident when she attempted to pass a truck in a no passing zone in Kane County.
Officials say on Sept. 23, Nthenya Maingi Patrick, 37, of Miami Beach was driving behind a "slow moving large truck" on Highway 89 when she attempted to make an illegal pass at the crest of a hill.
As Patrick moved into the eastbound lane, her SUV struck a Volkswagen headed in the opposite direction.
The passenger in the front seat of the Volkswagen, 20-year-old Annikka Jaramillo of Murray, died on the scene, while Patrick was transported to the hospital. The driver of the Volkswagen was also injured in the accident.
