LODGEPOLE - Authorities responded to a one-vehicle accident on Interstate 80 that closed one lane of the westbound lanes near Lodgepole on Thursday afternoon.
Cheyenne County Sheriff Adam Frerichs says a 1994 GMC Cargo Van, towing a 5x8 enclosed trailer, was westbound when a wheel bearing on the trailer got loose. The trailer whipped around, causing a tire on the van to blow. The driver lost control and the cargo van spun, coming to a stop on the left side of the lane, facing east.
A 44-year-old female driver and her passenger were uninjured in the accident.
