Child in car seat thrown from vehicle on I-80

A one-vehicle rollover in southeast Wyoming resulted in injuries to three people, including a 2-year-old girl who was thrown from the wreck while still strapped in her child car seat. Sgt. Stephen Townsend says the accident occurred about 11 a.m. Tuesday on Interstate 80 near Pine Bluffs. He says the vehicle drifted off the side of the westbound lanes and then the driver overcorrected. The vehicle rolled three times. Townsend says the driver, Cindy Sprey, and a passenger, Clay Holmes, both of Gering, Neb., were admitted to Cheyenne Regional Medical Center. He did not have the name of the child, who was taken to the Cheyenne hospital initially and scheduled for transfer to Children's Hospital in Denver later Tuesday. Their conditions were not immediately available. The accident is under investigation.
