Wyoming authorities are investigating whether fatigue played a role in the crash on Interstate 80 that killed a trucker from California. The Wyoming Highway Patrol said that 44-year-old Danny E. Gates of Upland, Calif. died in the crash Saturday around 6 a.m. on Interstate 80 near Green River. He was a driver for CR England. According to the Associated Press, Sgt. Stephen Townsend said Monday that Gates failed to negotiate a right-hand curve on the highway, ended up in the median and then rolled the truck partway onto the driver's side. Twenty-one-year-old Kyle Wanner of White Hills, Ariz., who was in the truck's sleeper, was hospitalized following the crash.
