Fiery Multi-Vehicle Crash in Wyoming Tunnel Kills at Least Two, Injures Several

A pileup involving semi-trucks and passenger vehicles in the Green River Tunnel has caused fatalities, injuries, and significant structural damage, closing I-80 indefinitely.

The crash occurred late Friday morning in the westbound tube of the Green River Tunnel on Interstate 80 in southwestern Wyoming.
At least two people have been confirmed dead, with five others seriously injured, and additional casualties are being treated at Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County.
The accident involved multiple semi-trucks and passenger vehicles, with intense heat from the fire causing tires to explode and black smoke to pour from the tunnel.
Emergency responders evacuated the tunnel and reported severe structural damage, including falling concrete, though the structure has not collapsed.
Authorities, including the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation and Highway Patrol, are treating the site as a crime scene, with no immediate timeline for reopening the highway.
