DRIGGS — There will be an event this Sunday to remember a young Driggs woman who died in an accident early Sunday evening on Ski Hill Road.
Heidi L. Hochstrasser, 29, was driving her silver Toyota 4Runner on Ski Hill Road near Pioneer Trail Road, about a quarter mile past the Idaho state line, at around 5 p.m.
The 4Runner lost control, sliding into the oncoming lane, where it was struck on the passenger side by a red Ford F250 pickup, which was carrying two passengers, who were unhurt. Both vehicles were, according to witnesses, traveling below the speed limit when the collision occurred.
Despite having her seat belt on, Hochstrasser sustained serious injuries and was taken to Teton Valley Hospital and later transported to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, where she passed away.
Hochstrasser was an avid climber who coached and taught at the Teton Rock Gym in Driggs. She studied biology at UC Santa Cruz and had moved to the valley several years ago.
