    Wyoming woman dies in one vehicle crash on Plunkett Road

    (Fremont County, WY) – A single vehicle rollover crash occurring on Plunkett Road around 8:40 PM, September 1st, resulted in one fatality, according to a Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) preliminary report.

    The driver has been identified as 34-year-old Wyoming resident Jessica Teton.

    The report states that Teton’s vehicle was northbound on Plunkett Road when it exited the roadway to the right.

    The driver then over-corrected the vehicle to left, back onto the roadway, when it entered a passenger-side leading slide.

    The vehicle entered the southbound borrow ditch and vaulted over the right-of-way fence, and impacted the far side of an irrigation canal.

    The vehicle came to a rest with the front end submerged in the water, the rear end in the air, and the bottom of the vehicle facing southbound.

    Speed is being looked into as a contributing factor, and the report states that no seatbelt was in use.
