Three killed after car crash on I-80 in Cheyenne

Three people were killed after a two-vehicle crash that took place just east of Cheyenne in Wyoming on Friday.

The crash took place just after 1 a.m. near milepost 383 on Interstate 80 when a commercial truck and trailer was moving east on the interstate and the driver lost control, causing the truck and trailer to roll over and stop in the roadway.

Another commercial tractor and trailer also moving east crashed with the overturned commercial truck, and both vehicles immediately became engulfed.

Identities of the victims were not released.

The eastbound lanes of Interstate 80 were closed from milepost 370 to 386 for most of Friday.

Wyoming Highway Patrol was investigating the crash.
