The following is a booking photo of Ashley Michelle Mathews, the woman killed in an Interstate 80 crash in south-central Wyoming on Sunday. The family has not yet confirmed this is the same Mathews, however, an investigation conducted by TheCount.com has concluded it is likely the same female.
Mathews, 26, was killed after Chad Henderson, 50, of Layton, Utah, smashed into a pickup truck on the shoulder of Interstate 80 in south-central Wyoming. He has since been charged Wednesday with aggravated homicide by vehicle and aggravated assault and battery. He did not enter a plea.

Prosecutors say Mathews died the next day of injuries suffered in the crash while 30-year-old Christopher Albert Burton (pictured below,) of Greenville, South Carolina, suffered a fractured vertebra.
Henderson told investigators he reached down to grab some candy, took his eyes off the road and drifted onto the shoulder near Rawlins.
Court records say Henderson told investigators he planned to stop at a Rawlins truck stop to sleep. h/t
