On April 23, 2019, a motor vehicle crash occurred at milepost 333 on Interstate 80 east of Laramie, Wyoming. Around 1:37 p.m., Wyoming Highway Patrol troopers were dispatched to the area to investigate.
A 2014 Subaru was traveling eastbound on Interstate 80 when the driver failed to negotiate a slight curve to the left. The Subaru drifted off the right side of the roadway before the driver over-corrected back to the left. The vehicle exited the left side of the road and struck an earth embankment, before coming to a stop against some large rocks.
The driver of the Subaru has been identified as 73-year-old Monterey, California resident Charles C. Vanmeter. Vanmeter was wearing his seatbelt but succumbed to injuries at the scene of the crash.
Driver inattention or a possible medical emergency is being investigated as a contributing factor.
