Wyoming Accident Turns Fatal For Sandy, Utah Family

A horrible accident took place in Wyoming that took the life of three Utah residents. A family from Sandy, Utah met snowy and icy roads on their way to Powell, Wyoming to attend the oldest daughter’s basketball game. According to KSL News, 49-year-old Eric Gustafson lost control of the SUV outside of Farson, Wyoming. Police reported that the SUV slid off the road and proceeded to roll four times down an embankment. Jaret Gustafson, 76 and Luanne Gustafson, 48, were ejected from the vehicle. Unfortunately, both family members died at the scene of the accident. Diane Gustafson, 73, died from a heart attack early Friday morning. Authorities do not know if the heart attack was related to the crash. Eric and three children were treated for injuries at the hospital and have been released. Our deepest sympathies are with the Gustafson family and friends as they mourn their tragic losses.
