Rollover Crash in Cheyenne Leaves 1 Dead, 1 Injured

preview

One person was killed and another was injured in a single-vehicle rollover crash in Cheyenne on Wednesday, the Wyoming Highway Patrol says.
The crash happened around 2:09 p.m. at the Interstate 25/Interstate 80 interchange.
According to a fatality crash summary, the driver of a Ford Ranger had just exited I-25 to merge onto I-80 eastbound when they drifted off the roadway to the left, overcorrected and went off the right side of the roadway, then overcorrected again, causing the pickup to spin counterclockwise, trip, and roll one complete time.
The crash left the driver injured and their unbuckled passenger, 65-year-old Colorado resident Wright Thomas, dead.
The summary lists speed as a possible contributing factor.
This is the 23rd reported fatality on Wyoming's highways so far this year.
Of those fatalities, four have died in crashes in Laramie County.
Sadly, it was just two weeks ago today that a 13-year-old Nebraskan lost her life in a rollover crash on I-25 in Cheyenne after the pickup she was riding in spun out on an icy bridge near the Lincolnway Drive exit, went off the interstate, and rolled multiple times down a steep embankment.

While car crashes can occur anywhere, some roads in Wyoming are more dangerous than others.
According to Wyoming Highway Patrol data,&nbsp;there were 117&nbsp;fatal crashes in the Cowboy State in 2022 resulting in 133 deaths.
Of those fatal crashes, the majority (13.68%) occurred in Laramie County -- two in January, one in February, one in March, two in April, one in June, two in July, three in August, two in September, one in November, and one in December.
Sweetwater County saw the second most fatal crashes last year, 12, while Fremont and Lincoln counties each saw 10.
Albany and Park counties each recorded eight, and Campbell, Converse, and Natrona counties each tallied seven.
The deadliest 2022 crash in Laramie County took place&nbsp;on June 17 when two semis collided on Interstate 80 east of Cheyenne&nbsp;and&nbsp;immediately became engulfed in flames killing both drivers and a passenger.
Laramie County also saw two fatal crashes involving motorcyclists, two fatal crashes involving juveniles, and a fatal crash involving a pedestrian last year.
