An Evanston man has died as the result of a car crash on I-80 near Lyman.

The Wyoming Highway Patrol says the fatal accident occurred at around 6:53 a.m. on Thursday, January 24 at milepost 35.

According to WHP, a 2008 Ford F-350 was traveling east on Interstate 80 when the vehicle drifted off the left side of the roadway and overturned.  The driver of the Ford has been identified as 24-year-old Evanston, Wyoming resident Tyree L. Summers.  Summers was wearing his seat belt but succumbed to his injuries at the scene of the crash.

Driving too fast for road conditions is being investigated as a contributing factor.  The road conditions were slick at the time of the crash.
