The Ford Ranger was headed eastbound on U.S. 14A and had just passed a tractor-trailer, at least partially, in the center lane. This according to a crash summary from the Wyoming Highway Patrol.

"The vehicle drifted across the two westbound lanes and touched off the shoulder. The driver overcorrected to the right, crossing the two westbound lanes, the center turn lane, and the eastbound passing lane in a clockwise rotation."

"The vehicle tripped near the dividing line between the eastbound lanes. The vehicle rolled through the right-of-way fence and came to rest on the wheels."

The passenger, Mark Tate, 43, was killed in the accident.

According to the crash summary, Tate was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.
