A few more details have emerged concerning Saturday’s deadly I-80 pile-up.
Snowfall, slick roads and limited visibility contributed to a 44-vehicle crash between the towns of Elk Mountain and Arlington the interstate corridor. Wyoming Highway Patrol Sergeant Jeremy Beck said two separate chain-reaction crashes involving multiple vehicles occurred around the same time Saturday in the same area. One person was killed in the larger pile-up.
Red Cross volunteers were at the Albany fairgrounds to help the stranded motorists.
The identity of the single fatality has not been released. Sgt. Beck was also unable to say how many people were injured in the collision. More information will be available later in the week.
