A woman died after a stolen car crashed into a pickup truck in West Valley City on Tuesday morning.

The driver of the stolen car told police he dropped something while driving south near 2900 South on Redwood Road at 8:15 a.m, according to West Valley City police spokeswoman Roxeanne Vainuku. When he reached down to get the item, he veered into oncoming traffic and hit a northbound pickup truck head-on, Vainuku said.

The driver of the stolen car suffered minor injuries. But the crash trapped his female passenger in the car, and she was in extremely critical condition after being extricated, Vainuku said.
