Riverton Man Faces Vehicular Homicide After Fatal Accident In Construction Zone

A 31-year-old Riverton man faces four counts of aggravated vehicular homicide stemming from a rear-end crash that killed a couple stopped at a construction zone in Fremont County. Gavin L. Shurtleff is out of jail on $50,000 bail. The Wyoming Highway Patrol says Shurtleff was driving a truck when it struck a car from behind on Aug. 25th near Shoshoni, killing 53-year-old Anthony C. Smith and 54-year-old Deaun L. Smith, both of Riverton. The patrol says the Smiths were stopped at a construction zone but Shurtleff's truck didn't slow down despite signs, orange cones and a flagger warning of the work.
