Woman Sentenced for Deadly 2021 Richfield Crash

A Utah woman has been sentenced to two years in jail and five years of probation after she pleaded guilty to reduced charges of causing a crash that killed a Richfield man. Lesia Ann Allred, age 55, admitted to causing the death of Clinton Duane Henrie, age 47 of Richfield, through negligence. Henrie died in a crash in May 2021 when Allred drove her Tahoe into oncoming traffic hitting Henrie’s vehicle head on. Police reported that the crash may have been the result of a suicide attempt by Allred. She was initially charged with murder and aggravated assault causing serious injury, but pleaded guilty to automobile homicide, a second-degree felony, and negligently operating a vehicle resulting in serious injury, a third-degree felony. Sixth District Judge Marvin D. Bagley sentenced Allred to one year in jail for each charge, to be served consecutively, and five years of probation. He also ordered her to pay $5,000 to the victim’s family in the case.
