Fatal Semi Crash Shuts Down I-80, One Fatality and Another Airlifted

A serious crash involving two semitrailers resulted in at least one fatality and a closure of the eastbound lanes of Interstate 80 between Laramie and Rawlins on Thursday afternoon. The Wyoming Highway Patrol reported the crash near Arlington before noon, leading to the closure expected to last four to six hours. The crash scene image shared by the Highway Patrol shows both semitrailers on the interstate shoulder with debris spread over 100 feet. WHP Public Information Officer Aaron Brown advised using the Wyoming 511 app for road updates and alternative routes, suggesting U.S. Highway 30 as an option. The investigation is ongoing, with details about the crash cause pending. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story from Greg Johnson at [email protected].
