A Wyoming teenager was killed, and another person injured in a single-vehicle rollover crash on Friday, December 6, KGAB AM 650 reports.
The crash occurred around 9:27 a.m. near mile marker 5 on Farson 2nd East Road (County Road 106) in Sweetwater County, near Farson.
According to the Wyoming Highway Patrol, speed may have been a contributing factor in the crash. A Dodge Dakota, traveling southbound, lost control and began rotating 180 degrees. The vehicle then exited the roadway, tripped, and rolled, as described in the fatality crash summary.
The crash resulted in the death of a 15-year-old, while the other occupant sustained injuries. Authorities have not yet confirmed which individual was driving the vehicle at the time of the accident.
This incident marks the 100th reported traffic fatality in Wyoming this year and the eighth juvenile death.
