Poplar

A 'snow day' has been called by the Casper Police Department, meaning they will only be responding to serious crashes.

Poplar street was blocked on the south side of Wyoming Boulevard while police investigated and worked to clear the scene.

One person from the pickup truck was put onto a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance.

Ingram anticipates paving work to be complete by Saturday morning, and says further closures likely will not be necessary.

One vehicle ended up on its side, and another sustained front-end damage.

Traffic flow had improved considerably as of 2:30 p.m., and first responders had largely cleared the area.

Shepperson reportedly refused several orders from the deputy, so the deputy took Shepperson to the ground and held him there until police showed up.

At least two ambulances have left the scene, one of which was apparently escorted by a Casper police vehicle.

The victim thought he might drive them off a cliff to kill both of them. She believed she was going to die.

For now, drivers best avoid First Street between Poplar and Nichols Avenue.
