A one car crash sent a man to the hospital and claimed the life of his passenger. Farrell Richards was southbound on Carbon County Road #701, 20 miles south of Wamsutter in Carbon County which is a dirt roadway, when he lost control of the vehicle on the icy surface.
The vehicle skidded broadside as it went off the roadway going into the southbound borrow pit. The vehicle rolled ½ time as it slid onto its top for about 100 feet. Both the driver and passenger were totally ejected from the vehicle. The vehicle then flipped into a ravine rolling one more complete time coming to rest on its top.
Troopers investigating this crash are looking into alcohol use as a contributing factor.
49 year old Robert COx of Rock Springs was identified as the man killed in the crash. Neither men were wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.
