CHEYENNE – You should never forget those important people in your life who have been lost. For the Wyoming Highway Patrol, they are remembering those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

On October 13th, 1998, Trooper Chris Logsdon was responding to an impaired driver report on Interstate 25 near Wheatland, Wyoming. As Trooper Logsdon crested a hill, the suspect driver was traveling the wrong direction on I-25 headed right at Trooper Logsdon. Trooper Logsdon swerved to avoid a crash with the oncoming vehicle causing his patrol vehicle to roll multiple times.

Trooper Logsdon sustained life-ending injuries during the crash. The suspect driver, apprehended a short time later, was not as an impaired driver, but was identified as a confused elderly man. Trooper Logsdon’s ultimate sacrifice is never forgotten as we remember him today and his selfless act to save the suspect from injury.
