A Lovell Elementary
School student is thank-
ful for the Lovell Volunteer
Fire Dept.'s "Jaws of Life"
device after she was freed
from a swing at Constitu-
tion Park in which she had
become stuck last Tuesday
afternoon, April 21.
Lovell Fire Chief Jim
Minchow said fourth-grade
student Adriana DelaCruz
was on a school outing to
the park when she climbed
into a toddler seat on the
swing set and became stuck.
The tightness of the seat
may have been exacerbat-
ed by some swelling in her
legs, Minchow said, and she
became pinned in the seat,
causing her pain.
Firemen and the am-
bulance crew were called
around 3 p.m Minchow
said, and once at the scene,
they acted quickly to first
relieve the girl's pain, then
free her from the seat,
which was made of metal
covered by plastic, necessi-
tating the use of the cutting
tool on the department's
Jaws of Life.
"First, we cut the chains
to lower her down so it
wasn't hurting her so bad,"
Minchow said. "We lowered
her and laid her on a stretch-
er so the pressure wasn't on
her legs and pinching her.
Then we cut four to six inch-
es out of the seat with the
Jaws of Life cutter, got one
leg out and then we could
bend it around to the right
angle and pull it off of her."
EMTs from the North
Big Horn Hospital ambu-
lance crew checked Adriana
out at the scene and she
walked home with her fa-
ther, Adrian.

A one-vehicle rollover
just south of Lovell early
Fziday morning claimed the
life of a Basin man, accord-
ing to the Wyoming High-
way Patrol.
Louis Lloyd Muckley,
39, died at the scene of the
crash, which happened
around 2:40 a.m. at mile
post 232 about four miles
south of Lovell on U.S.
Highway 310 just south of
Lovell Lake, according to
Trooper Blain Mollett.
Muckley was the sole
occupant of a 1996 Dodge
2500 three-quarter-ton
pickup that was traveling
south from Lovell toward
Basin. Mollett said Muckley
had finished his shift at the
Georgia-Pacific wallboard
plant around 11 p.m. and
apparently went to Lovell.
He left a bar in Lovell at
around 2:25 a.m Mollett
estimated, and started driv-
ing south.
When Muckley did not
return home, his wife called
in a missing person's report
shortly after 5:30 a.m. The
Big Horn County Sheriffs
Dept. was notified to begin
a search and a deputy began
a search within minutes.
Deputy Jeff Angell found
the crash site just before 6
a.m. and began the process
of requesting emergency re-
sponders. The Highway Pa-
trol was called to the scene
and Mollett said he was no-
tiffed at 6:23 a.m.
Sheriff Ken Blackburn
said Deputy Angell de-
serves kudos for using his
intuition, based on years of
experience, to find the crash
site, which was difficult to
locate in the early morning
hours, then used his care
and compassion dealing
with the victim's loved ones.
"He went above and be-
yond the call of duty to pro-
vide support for the fami-
ly, even driving all the way
to Basin to meet personally
with them," Blackburn said.
"People often take it for
granted how hard these sit-
uations can be on emergen-
cy responders, too."
Mollett said the Muck-
ley pickup was driving
south on 310 when it left the
roadway to the right side
where the highway makes a
slight curve to the left and
the driver overcorrected,
sending the truck across the
road, leaving the highway
on the left side as it spun
180 degrees, then rolled
down a steep embankment.
Muckley was ejected and
was not wearing a seatbelt,
Mollett said.
He was later pro-
nounced dead at the scene.
Mollett said alcohol is
being investigated as a fac-
tor in the crash, though he
said results from blood work
would not be available for a
week or two.
Louis Muckley was an
employee of the ATS main-
tenance company working
at G-P. Memorial services
will be held Wednesday,
May 6, at Haskell Funeral
Home in Lovell.
