CASPER, Wyo — A Wyoming resident died and another person is in critical condition Saturday, March 6 following a two-vehicle crash south of Torrington.
The Wyoming Highway Patrol said 19-year-old Tyler Schaub was driving northbound on US Highway 85 when, based on evidence at the scene and witness statements, his vehicle veered into the southbound lane and collided head-on with a Kia Optima. Both vehicles came to rest in opposite ditches.
The driver of the Optima was extricated from the vehicle by Goshen County emergency personnel and transported “with life-threatening injuries” by helicopter to Regional West Medical Center in Scottsbluff, Nebraska.
