Apparently, Lehnig ran off the road and was killed in the accident, Jensen said. Results of an autopsy are pending.

- Oldroyd was helping a friend move some cattle near LaPoint when her parked truck started moving down a hill, according to the Uintah County Sheriff's Office. Oldroyd apparently ran to stop the truck, somehow slipped and was run over by the rear-left tire.

Rescue workers performed CPR on the woman.

She was taken to a nearby hospital where she was declared dead.
