The UHP Report said Thygerson was extricated from his car and transported to the Dixie Regional Medical Center where he died a short time later.
The driver of the FedEx van, 37-year old Jacob A. Baker of St. George, was hospitalized in stable condition with lower-body injuries, according to the UHP.
