“The preliminary investigation suggests that the driver of a 2008 Audi Quattro was rear-ended by a 2008 Honda Accord traveling at a high rate of speed,” a Cheyenne Police Department Statement said in a written statement on Wednesday.
The driver of the Audi has been identified as Vincent Zakis, age 28, of Cheyenne.
Zakis reportedly sustained life- threatening injuries and was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
