The Laramie County Sheriff's Office is reminding drivers to "pull your head out of your app" after a deputy was rear-ended by a private plow truck in the Cheyenne area on Wednesday.

That's according to a post on the Laramie County Sheriff's Office Facebook page. The post says the deputy is "sore but okay.' The plow truck driver was not hurt, according to the post.

The post says the collision happened on  Four Mile Rd, just East of Yellowstone. It says the plow driver was looking down at the time and did not see the deputy making a left-hand turn.

2022's Deadliest Wyoming County by Traffic Deaths

While car crashes can occur anywhere, some roads in Wyoming are more dangerous than others.

According to Wyoming Highway Patrol data, there were 117 fatal crashes in the Cowboy State in 2022 resulting in 133 deaths.

Of those fatal crashes, the majority (13.68%) occurred in Laramie County -- two in January, one in February, one in March, two in April, one in June, two in July, three in August, two in September, one in November, and one in December.

Sweetwater County saw the second most fatal crashes last year, 12, while Fremont and Lincoln counties each saw 10.

Albany and Park counties each recorded eight, and Campbell, Converse, and Natrona counties each tallied seven.

The deadliest 2022 crash in Laramie County took place on June 17 when two semis collided on Interstate 80 east of Cheyenne and immediately became engulfed in flames killing both drivers and a passenger.



Laramie County also saw two fatal crashes involving motorcyclists, two fatal crashes involving juveniles, and a fatal crash involving a pedestrian last year.
