Drivers Asked To Pay More Attention Following Another Moose Fatality

Drivers are being asked to pay more attention on roads in Northwestern Wyoming after a moose was killed on state Highway 390 near Teton Village. The male calf moose died either later Thursday or early Friday, and according to Jerry Longobardi with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, it appears he was hit hard enough to die on impact. A moose was also killed on Fish Creek Road and two more were hit in the Snake River Canyon this year. That makes the number of moose-vehicle collisions alarming to one resident who blames the accidents on distracted and speeding drivers.
