2 dead after truck goes airborne, flips on Interstate 25 near Chugwater

CASPER, Wyo. — Two Wyoming residents are dead after their truck crashed on Interstate 25 near Chugwater on Thursday, Feb. 9.

According to a Wyoming Highway Patrol preliminary report, a Ford F-350 was heading northbound on Interstate 25 near milepost 49 when the vehicle drifted off the road and into the median.

The Ford went airborne after hitting the side of an unpaged crossover between the north and southbound lanes, the report said. The vehicle then landed on its roof and slid before coming to a rest in the median.

The report says Wyoming residents Daniel and David Parkin, both listed as age 44, died in the crash. Conditions were clear, and the report says driver fatigue/asleep and medication use were listed as possible contributing factors. Seatbelts were in use, the report said.
