A Wyoming man who died in a rollover crash Tuesday evening south of Kemmerer may have fallen asleep at the wheel, the highway patrol says.

The crash happened around 5:30 p.m. near milepost 32 on U.S. 189.

The patrol says 53-year-old Joel Reimer was headed north when he drifted off the road, overcorrected, and rolled his SUV multiple times.
