Crash

This marked the 123 fatality on Wyoming’s highways in 2019 compared to 86 in 2018, 109 in 2017, and 91 in 2016 to date.

Though the circumstances of the initial collision were unclear Tuesday, Beck said the hay caught fire after the crash.

This marked the 119th fatality on Wyoming’s roadways in 2019 compared to 82 in 2018, 109 in 2017, and 89 in 2016 to date.

The crash was reported Sunday afternoon and closed the highway between the north and south junctions with Highway 77 for several hours.

Laramie County Coroner Rebecca Reid says it could be several weeks before an autopsy is released.

Weather was clear and the road surface was dry when the wreck occurred.

There is no estimated time for the highway to reopen, WYDOT said.

A silver SUV crashed into the rear of the school bus.
