Interstate 90 near Buffalo, Wyo., were both elderly women.
Seventy-two-year-old Donna A. Smith of Gillette and 86-year-old
Wanda W. Basham of Sheridan were both killed from injuries
sustained in the Monday afternoon collision.
Wyoming Highway Patrol Sgt. Stephen Townsend says the weather
was clear and Interstate 90 was dry when Basham apparently used the
wrong ramp to get on the interstate and headed the wrong way, going
westbound in the eastbound lanes. Townsend says Smith was headed
eastbound, and neither of the drivers made any attempt to evade the
head-on collision.
The crash remains under investigation.
GREEN RIVER ? A jury has acquitted a Rock Springs woman accused
of attempted murder charges, instead finding her guilty of
aggravated assault and battery.
Twenty-six-year-old Gloria Lynn Landeroz was charged after
prosecutors said she took part in a drive-by shooting on May 17,
2009.
A jury heard more than four days of testimony and deliberated
for about 15 hours before reaching a verdict on Tuesday. The jurors
acquitted Landeroz of first-degree attempted murder, conspiracy to
commit first-degree murder and second-degree attempted murder. They
also deadlocked on an attempted manslaughter charge, and a mistrial
was declared on that count.
Landeroz faces up to 10 years in prison on the aggravated
assault and battery conviction.
