GRAND COUNTY, Utah — A newborn baby and two others have been identified as those killed Sunday in a head-on collision involving a motorhome in Grand County.

The Utah Department of Public Safety said a 1-month-old baby girl, along with Derik Hurst and Shandi Hurst of Mancos, CO, were killed just after noon when their Chevrolet Suburban crashed on SR-191 near Moab.

Officials said the Suburban was traveling southbound at a high rate of speed when it veered into the northbound lanes and struck the motorhome head-on as it was hauling a GMC Canyon.
