A tragic collision in southeast Laramie County on Saturday, March 22, has left a juvenile dead and their mother injured, according to the Laramie County Sheriff’s Office, KGAB AM 650 reports.
The accident occurred at approximately 10:27 a.m. at the intersection of County Road 154 and County Road 207, about five miles south of the Egbert exit.
According to Public Information Officer Brandon Warner, a southbound pickup truck collided with the passenger side of a westbound car carrying the juvenile and their mother.
The mother, who was driving, sustained injuries and was transported to Cheyenne Regional Medical Center for treatment.
Sadly, the juvenile passenger did not survive the injuries sustained in the crash.
A Wyoming Highway Patrol crash reconstructionist was called to the scene to assist with the investigation and documentation of the incident.
Authorities do not believe impairment was a factor in the crash.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of everyone involved in this terrible tragedy,” Warner said in a statement.
