TUCKER, Utah — A 6-year-old girl died after a semi-truck collided with a pickup truck early Sunday morning in Utah County.
The child was later identified as Alivia Lloyd of Tooele.
A Gofundme fundraiser remembered Lloyd as a "radiant beacon of joy, leaving an unforgettable glow in the hearts of all who knew her."
"She was an embodiment of warmth, always ready to welcome everyone with a hug and her contagious smile," the fundraiser reads in part. "She was a loving and smart daughter, a creative and playful sister, and a beacon of joy to her family and friends."
Utah Highway Patrol told FOX 13 News that the crash happened around 5 a.m. on U.S. Highway 6 approximately four miles northwest of Tucker, which is between Spanish Fork and Helper.
UHP said a Dodge pickup towing a flatbed trailer drifted into the eastbound lane, colliding with the semi-truck head-on.
The 6-year-old girl, who was in a car seat behind the front passenger seat of the pickup, died at the scene. Both drivers were transported by ambulance with non-life-threatening injuries.
Utah Highway Patrol said drowsy driving may have been the cause of the accident.
