A second woman died Friday from injuries suffered when a minivan carrying 16 immigrants crashed in southeastern Utah, the Utah Highway Patrol said.
The woman, a Guatemalan citizen believed to be in her early 20s, died at St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction, Colo., said Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Wade Breur.
The woman's identity is not known, he said.
She was riding in a van from Phoenix to Denver when the van ran off the road and rolled. UHP said the van's 17-year-old driver may have fallen asleep.
A 20-year-old Guatemalan woman died at the scene, about 26 miles southeast of Moab.
Most passengers are believed to be in here illegally from Mexico and Guatemala.
