WYDOT says no one was harmed in the incident.
According to WYDOT, a truck arrester catch-net cable system is a series of eight to 10 cables that span across a long, narrow ramp adjacent to the highway used to stop runaway vehicles. They're typically installed on highway routes with a steep grade of 6% or more.
WYDOT says the arrester will be closed for an undetermined period of time while repairs are being made.
