Ridgeline High Co -Coach Coach killed by Wyoming

Rock Springs, Wyoming – A student at Utah State University, who worked as a co -trainer at the Ridgeline High School, died last week after an accident in Southwest Wyoming.

Grace Monterth, 22, from Providence, Cache County, died in the crash, confirmed the motorway authorities of the Wyoming Highway Patrol.

The passenger was assembled in a Subaru, which started on the I-80 near the non-legal community of Point of Rocks, about 30 miles east of Rock Springs, shortly after 4 p.m. on May 5 after the vehicle, said Arron Healy, a public information officer for Wyoming Highway Patrol.

“The Subaru drove to the right shoulder of the Eastern lane, where it returned west,” he said in a explanation.

A semi -truck, which drove east on the highway, then collided with the Subaru when he moved back into the western lane, what the vehicle turned and then held the median towards the east, said Healy. Both drivers – whose names and age were not published – were brought to a nearby hospital with injuries that were not specified, but Monterth was declared dead at the scene.

The crash continues to be investigated, but Healy said the agency checked the tiredness or drivers as possible as possible factors. He said it rained and the streets were wet at the time of the crash. He asks the drivers to be careful in bad weather and drive carefully.

Monterth was an assistant Wrestling coach at the Ridgeline High School, where she was previously an outstanding athlete, wrote her family in an obituary. After the high school, she spent a season at Hastings College in Nebraska, became a Naia scholar all-American in 2022 and also qualified for NAIA members.

Her family wrote that she then served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of the saints of the last few days in San Diego and Indianapolis before returning to Utah. After her mission, she moved to Utah State University and became an assistant Wrestling trainer to Ridgeline. Her family said that the university had awarded a bachelor's degree posthumously because it was about to graduate in kinesiology shortly before completing her degree.

She was also described as “light” in the life of her family and friends.

“Grace was very service -oriented, turned to the needy or discouraged, raised it, even if it was difficult for her to do this and often presented the needs of others in front of her,” wrote her family.

A funeral service for Monterth is planned for Saturday in Providence. A Gofundme page* has been set up to help the family cover the funeral costs and other costs, and has collected over 25,000 US dollars since its foundation.
