US 287

A multi-branch military operation included a dramatic scene on the Wyoming prairie when a US Air Force Reserve C-130J aircraft touched down on the highway.

There was no word on whether anyone was injured.

The pickup was pushed off the road to the left, where it went into the borrow pit and rolled over onto its roof.

Speed, cell phone use and driver inattention on the part of Doyle are being investigated as possible contributing factors.

WYDOT reminds drivers that parking on the roadway is prohibited and hinders efforts to reopen that stretch of I-90.

U.S. 30/287 was also closed between I-80 and WY 34 due to the local authority request.

After the vehicles collided, the Toyota spun about 270 degrees and came to rest on the southbound shoulder of the highway.

Upon landing, the vehicle turned counterclockwise and rolled one and a half times, coming to rest on its roof.

The spring storm has forced WYDOT to close many area highways.
