Crashes mark snowy Monday
BY DAVID PECK
A pair of collisions on
a cold and snowy day kept
emergency responders busy
Monday in North Big Horn
County.
According to Wyoming
Highway Patrol Trooper
Blain Mollett, the first crash
took place around 6:25 a.m.
at the intersection of U.S.
Highway 310 and Lane
13 south of Lovell. Rus-
sell Dickson, 36, of Lovell,
driving a 1992 Toyota pick-
up, was traveling east on
Lane 13 when he attempt-
ed to stop at a stop sign at
the main highway but was
unable to stop and slid into
the path of Devin Robert-
son, 29, of Lovell, who was
driving south on U.S. 310 in
a 2002 Nissan Sentra.
Sheriff's report
Dickson was able to
partially turn the Toyota,
but the Nissan struck the
right rear tire of the pick-
up. Both vehicles were dis-
abled and had to be towed,
Mollett said. There were no
injuries, and seatbelts were
in use, Mollett said, adding
that the airbag in Robert-
son's Nissan deployed.
Dickson was cited for
speed too fast for conditions.
COWLEY CRASH
Mollett investigated a
second crash Monday that
happened around 2 p.m.
nearly two miles west of
Cowley on U.S. 310. Brad
Trowell, 41, of Lovell was
driving a 2003 Cadillac Es-
calade east on 310 while
Robert Wagner, 51, of
Deaver was westbound in a
2003 Freightliner owned by
Big Horn County and pull-
ing a belly dump trailer.
Mollett said the Esca-
lade drifted across the cen-
terline and sideswiped the
truck on the drive axel, the
first set of duals. Wagner
could see the Cadillac drift-
ing over and started mov-
ing to the left but was un-
able to avoid the collision,
Mollett said.
Both vehicles continued
for a distance before stop-
ping. All persons in the ve-
hicles, including Trowell's
passenger Suzette Jewell,
were wearing seatbelts and
there were no injuries, Mol-
lett said.
Trowell was cited for
driving left of center.
