Wheatland

I've lived in Wyoming for 25 years and have never seen, nor heard of anything like this happening. Apparently ladybugs migrate up into the Black Mountain area of Albany county.

A Casper man and a Lusk woman were killed when the car they were riding in ran off Interstate 25 about five miles south of Wheatland Tuesday morning.

Sgt. Jeremy Beck says the crash happened around 5:29 a.m. at milepost 31 on Wyoming 34.

The incident is still under investigation.

The Patrol is still investigating the crash and has not said whether or not the driver of the tractor, who has yet to be identified, will face any charges.

The Platte County Sheriff’s Department assisted the Wyoming Highway Patrol.

As of Tuesday, some 260 firefighters were working the blaze

The area of the fire is partly timbered, partly grassland, and the terrain is uneven which makes suppression difficult.

Between 150 and 200 firefighters are assigned to the blaze, including one crew from Florida.

Donald Moede originally was charged with 81 counts in a criminal information document in August.
