RIGBY — William “Bill” Gray, a truck driver and reserve police officer from Rigby, has died.
The Rigby Police Department announced the death on social media late Monday night.
Gray, 43, had been in critical condition at the University of Utah Burn Center since July, following a head-on crash caused by a man in a pickup truck who was fleeing police on U.S. Highway 89 in Utah.

“(Bill) has been in a long hard fight,” the Department Facebook post reads. “Tonight, his body lost this fight. We would like to offer our condolences to his wife, April, and their loved ones. We say “body” because his spirit will live on with all of us. Bill was truly the best of mankind. Always willing to help, always willing to go the extra mile. Bill was a big man, with a bigger heart.”
EastIdahoNews.com has reached out to the family for comment.
Gray joined the Rigby Police Department as a volunteer reserve officer five years ago. He was also a full-time semi truck driver who loved serving the city, Police Chief Sam Tower told EastIdahoNews.com in July.
Gray received national attention last month when, after he was admitted to the burn center, a Salt Lake City police officer arrived to conduct a blood draw to test for illicit substances in his blood. University hospital nurse Alex Wubbels refused to draw the blood, quoting hospital policy. She was arrested on the spot but later released without charges.

In response to this situation, April said in a news release, “I’m glad she (nurse Wubbles) was protecting my husband and I love our police community. I’m deeply grateful to the Logan police officers who helped Bill on the scene of the accident, as well as all the medical staff who have treated him since then. They have all been wonderful.”

Environmentalists allege gov't collusion in S. Idaho phosphate mining pollution By Kristen Moulton The Salt Lake Tribune kmoulton@sltrib.com?subject=Salt%20Lake%20Tribune:%20Environmentalists%20allege%20gov%27t%20collusion%20in%20S.%20Idaho%20phosphate%20mining%20pollution Article Last Updated: 09/20/2007 09:16:05 PM MDT
Posted: 9:15 PM- A regional environmental group accused the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management on Thursday of colluding with phosphate-mining companies in southern Idaho to cover up decades of serious pollution. The result, said Marv Hoyt, the Idaho director of the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, is that mining continues to leach selenium into streams and the aquifer - while 17 Superfund sites from past mining go untouched. Lynn Ballard, spokesman for the Caribou-Targhee National Forest and BLM, denied there was any collusion with the mining industry to cover up the pollution. "We've never operated that way," he said. Mining for phosphate exposes rocks rich in selenium, which, once exposed to rain and snow, flows into streams and underground aquifers. It can build up in plants, reaching high concentrations that can kill livestock and wildlife and harm the people who eat them. The Greater Yellowstone Coalition and Caribou Clean Water Partnership released a report written by a retired federal hydrologist, who pored over thousands of documents obtained from federal agencies through the Freedom of Information Act. Edgar Imhoff, the hydrologist, during a press conference via telephone Thursday, said he was astounded by the toxic levels of selenium found as long as two decades ago in streams near phosphate mines north and east of Soda Springs.
