According to Wyoming Highway Patrol, there was a heavy rainstorm in the area, with a 2007 Ford Crown Vic traveling west while two motorcycles were traveling east.
The Ford was descending a long downhill stretch that ended with a curve to the right and, when the driver attempted to make the right-hand curve, the vehicle was unable to make the corner, crossing the centerline into the path of the two motorcycles, due to poor tread on the tires and the wet road.
The Ford struck one of the motorcycles, a 2000 BMW K1200LT, first on the front driver side, which caused the Ford to rotate counter-clockwise in front of the other motorcycle, a 2016 Indian Scout Sixty ATV.
