Laramie, WY : Man killed in auto accident on Highway 230 west of Laramie on Sunday afternoon, January 31, 2016

A fatal vehicular accident Sunday afternoon on Wyoming Highway 230 claimed the life of an unidentified man.
Lt. Mike Simmons of the Wyoming Highway Patrol said the crash occurred shortly after 3 p.m. Sunday near milepost 17, about 15 miles west of Laramie.
The call originally came from a person on-scene, then went through Albany County-City of Laramie Joint Communications before being forwarded to the WHP dispatch center in Cheyenne.
A driver in a pickup truck traveling westbound on the highway didn’t maneuver properly around a curve in the road and collided with an oncoming semi-truck, Simmons said.
“Unfortunately, the driver of the pickup failed to negotiate that curve and kept on driving straight, which led that vehicle to go into the oncoming lane,” Simmons said.
Both drivers attempted to correct their steering but collided in the middle of the highway and went off the road and into a ditch. The semi-truck was hauling crude oil, and both vehicles erupted in flames.
The semi-truck driver was uninjured, Simmons said. Because the driver in the pickup truck was severely burned, his body could not be identified. Law enforcement ran the plates on the man’s pickup truck and found a match in Colorado, but the person didn’t match the physical description of the man, he said.
“There’s no identifying marks,” Simmons said. “Even if he had a tattoo there’d be no way for us to know it.”
A forensic dentist from Torrington is coming to conduct an exam on the deceased man and positively identify the body, he said.
“They have a pretty good idea who it is,” Simmons said. “They’re getting the dental records from the individual and then they’re going to have the forensic dentist conduct the exam.”
