Utah Couple Dies in Car Crash While Driving to Share Pregnancy News With Family
View Date:2024-12-23 18:30:28
Christmas turned into a tragedy for a young couple from Utah.
Parker and Chloe Stott died in a Dec. 20 car crash while traveling to Arizona to share news of their pregnancy with their family during the Christmas holiday.
"They had just found out they were pregnant with a baby and were so excited to be parents and share the news with their loved ones over Christmas," a GoFundMe page for the pair reads. "They were involved in a tragic car accident that took the life of Chloe and their precious baby boy."
Around 8:20 p.m., the couple was trying to pass another vehicle in Wickenburg, Ariz., but collided head-on with a commercial truck-tractor that was pulling a trailer, Arizona Department of Public Safety officials told local outlet KUTV.
The truck driver was taken to the hospital as a precaution but Chloe, the CEO of Clover Skin Bar, died in the crash. She was 24.
Parker was transported to the Arizona Burn Center, where he underwent "intense care to save his life," per the fundraiser. However, he later died on Dec. 24.
"Parker went in for his 3rd surgery to do some clean up on his burns, as well as start on some skin grafting for his leg," an update shared on the fundraiser explained. "At the completion of the surgery, the surgeons delivered the news that Parker's injuries were even more extensive than what we were already aware of and the outlook was extremely bleak."
A few hours later, his vitals were dropping fast.
"We gathered around him as a family, kissed him, hugged him, held his hand, told him just how much we loved him and how proud we were of him," the post continued. "He is the strongest person and has fought so hard. At 6:47pm, Parker grew his angel wings to fly him to Heaven to be with his sweet love Chloe and their baby."
According to a social media tribute page, the couple's dogs Frank and George survived the car accident.
