Wheatland man killed in fatal accident near Douglas

A Wyoming man was killed in single vehicle accident near Douglas Monday morning.

The Wyoming Highway Patrol reports that the crash happened at milepost 126 on Interstate 25 at 1:50 a.m.

31-year-old Jason Havard from Wheatland was traveling southbound in a 2007 Dodge Ram Pickup when he lost control on the icy road.  The Dodge entered into the median and overturned into the northbound passing lane where it came to rest.  The Highway Patrol says a 2013 Freightliner semi truck towing a trailer was traveling northbound and was unable to avoid a collision with the Dodge.

Havard succumbed to his injuries while being transported by ambulance to Memorial Hospital of Converse County in Douglas. He was not wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash and was not ejected.

The driver of the Freightliner has been identified as 55-year-old Wellington, Colorado resident Keith Cunningham. Cunningham was not injured during the crash.

This crash resulted in the 14th highway fatality in Wyoming for 2018 compared to 19 fatalities in 2017, 10 in 2016, and 21 in 2015 during this same time period.
