A head-on collision in northern Hot Springs County on Sunday night resulted in one fatality and two injuries, according to the Wyoming Highway Patrol (WHP), KGAB AM 650 reports.
The accident occurred at approximately 8:43 p.m. at milepost 38 on Wyoming Highway 120, about 13 miles southeast of Meeteetse and 38 miles northwest of Thermopolis.
Authorities say 64-year-old Sandra Swallow, a Montana resident, was driving northbound in a Subaru Impreza when she drifted into the oncoming lane. Her vehicle collided head-on with a Chevrolet Silverado hauling a car on a trailer, causing the pickup to roll over on the east side of the highway.
Swallow died at the scene, while the driver and a passenger in the Silverado sustained injuries.
According to the WHP fatal crash summary, driver inattention and fatigue are being considered as possible contributing factors to the crash.
Swallow’s death marks the 22nd reported fatality on Wyoming highways in 2025.
Wyoming law enforcement continues to stress the importance of driver alertness and road safety, especially on highways where long stretches of open road can contribute to fatigue-related crashes.
The Wyoming Highway Patrol has not yet released additional details on the condition of the injured individuals or whether further investigations are underway.
