Two fatal crashes reported on I-90

Wyoming Highway Patrol has announced that two fatal crashes took place on the interstate on January 8, leading to the deaths of 60-year-old Eric J. Carbaugh of Beulah and 27-year-old Keelie A. Garvin of Gillette.

Speeding too fast for road conditions is being investigated as a possible contributing factor in both incidents.

The first crash occurred on I-90 east of Sundance, at around milepost 201. It was called in at 8:02 a.m. as a one-vehicle rollover.

According to a statement from Wyoming Highway Patrol, a 1997 Ford F-250 was headed west on the interstate when Carbaugh lost control of the vehicle on the ice and snow-covered roadway. 

The vehicle exited the road and entered the median, where it overturned. 

The second crash occurred at milepost 189 east of Sundance and was called in at 10:58 p.m. as a one-vehicle rollover. A 2008 Ford F-250 was headed west when the driver lost control on the ice-covered roadway and the vehicle exited the road and entered the median, where it overturned.

The driver of the vehicle, Garvin, succumbed to her injuries at the scene. The passenger, 23-year-old Corban J. Vassar of Gillette, was transported to the Crook County Memorial Hospital for injuries sustained in the crash.
