Green River, WY – A motor vehicle accident early Sunday morning, February 8, 2026, left two people fatally injured.
As reported by SweetWaterNow.com, “[t]wo people were killed in a crash involving two tractor-trailers on Interstate 80 near Green River early Sunday morning. The crash occurred near mile marker 93 in the eastbound lanes.”
According to the report, “[a] semi was illegally parked in the right lane when a second semi drifted from the left lane and struck it. The collision destroyed the parked semi’s trailer and the drifting semi exploded on impact, becoming fully engulfed in flames.”
CowboyStateDaily.com is reporting, “[b]oth people in the second truck were killed, while the driver of the parked truck was reportedly outside the cab at the time of the collision.”
Per the report, Wyoming Highway Patrol explained that “the first truck was illegally parked because there was no apparent emergency, and parking is only allowed for emergencies…And so, it was an illegal parking and (the driver) was issued a summons for illegal parking instead of a citation.”
