UPDATE2: The following the official release from the Wyoming Highway Patrol.

On March 20, 2020, a crash involving multiple vehicles occurred in the eastbound lanes near milepost 331 on Interstate 80 east of Laramie. 

Around 10:18 am, a Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper stopped to check on a commercial truck stopped in the roadway. As the trooper was speaking with this driver, another vehicle ran into the back of the stopped commercial truck. This created several other drivers to lose control of their vehicles and crash.   

The crash involved more than 27 vehicles, which included 23 commercial trucks. All parties that were injured in the crash were transported to the Ivinson Memorial Hospital. 

At the time of the crash, there was dense fog and slick roads. The interstate remains closed while troopers continue to investigate the crash.

UPDATE1: Crews are working hard to clear wreckage from the crash that occurred earlier this afternoon on I-80 eastbound near mile marker 331.

The interstate is closed both directions between Laramie and Cheyenne; crews are utilizing the westbound lanes to gain access to the wreckage since it blocks both eastbound lanes.

Happy Jack Road (WYO 210) is open to local traffic only between Cheyenne and Laramie. As of 3:36 pm, March 20, the latest estimated opening time is 5-7 hours.

CHEYENNE — According to the Wyoming Department of Transportation, WYDOT and the Wyoming Highway Patrol are in the process of cleaning up and investigating a multiple-vehicle crash around milepost 331 on I-80.

I-80 is currently closed both directions between Cheyenne and Laramie.

As of right now, it is unknown how long the interstate will be closed. WYDOT gather further information and provide updates on the cleanup.
