(Update:10:11 a.m. Tuesday) As of 9:30 this morning Cheyenne Police have officially rescinded the Accident Alert. 

Due to the winter storm which has hit southeast Wyoming, the Cheyenne Police Department has issued the following statement:

Due to the high number of vehicle accidents related to the current hazardous road conditions, the Cheyenne Police Department will only be responding to accidents that involve injuries, drunk drivers, immovable vehicles, or the inability to exchange information. Drivers involved in all other accidents should exchange information and later fill out a delayed accident form. Delayed accident forms are available in the Cheyenne Police Department lobby during normal business hours.

Officer Dan Long says police issue the alert at times when they are extremely busy due to the high number of car accidents.
