A Casper teen died Monday in a head-on collision with a dump truck west of the city.
The 15-year-old was driving a Mitsubishi Galant west on Wyoming Highway 220 at about 4 p.m. when his car drifted across the center-line and struck an oncoming dump truck, the Wyoming Highway Patrol reported.
The boy died at the scene. The dump truck driver, identified as 47-year-old Dustin H. Geiger of Casper, was not injured, according to the patrol.
Highway patrol officials say inattention on the boy’s part may have contributed to the crash. He is the 111 person to die this year on Wyoming roads.
The crash, near the intersection of highways 220 and 487, led authorities to shut down 220 for hours on Monday as they investigated the crash.
