Fairfield Head Volleyball Coach dies in car accident
(Fairfield) -- Authorities have identified the woman killed Wednesday when her car crashed into a tractor-trailer rig on U-S 89 in Fairfield.
Teton County Sheriff/Coroner Keith Van Setten identified the woman as Stephanie Harrell and the Fairfield School confirmed that Harrell's married name is Stephanie Schmidt who has been the Head Volleyball Coach for the past 5 years.
She was also a 6th grade teacher and handled a majority of the filming at Fairfield sporting events.
The Montana Highway Patrol said that Harrell-Schmidt was driving on U-S 89 Wednesday afternoon when she crossed the center line and hit the on-coming truck.
The 24-year old truck driver, also from Fairfield, was not injured.
Investigators say road conditions were clear and the accident remains under investigation.
