The 16 highway deaths reported as of Friday afternoon mark a significant rise compared to figures in recent years.

The Patrol is investigating the possibility that Ortiz may have been driving too fast for the slick road conditions.

Sgt. Jeremy Beck of the Wyoming Highway Patrol said in a statement Friday that the crash occurred near milepost five at roughly 3:20 p.m. Thursday.

Beck's statement did not indicate where the snowplow driver found the money.

The Wyoming Highway Patrol once again urges drivers to buckle up with a video that shows devastating footage of crash dummies being violently thrown from vehicles on a crash course.

Former Wyoming Highway Patrol Trooper Franklin Ryle intended to kill a driver and stage an accident that would either injure him or kill Ryle’s wife.

The road conditions were slick at the time.

Reynolds said Highway 59 was closed between Wright and Gillette in order to keep other traffic off of the roadway.

The Patrol is investigating the possibility that Brown may have been driving too fast for conditions.

All three of the people involved in the crash were wearing their seatbelts at the time.

Snow, combined with sustained winds of more than 30 mph and gusts around 60 mph, hampered the cleanup process.
