The Wyoming Highway Patrol and the Sweetwater County Coroner have released the names of those who lost their lives in Friday’s crash in the Green River Tunnel on Interstate 80. 20-year-old Christopher Johnson and 22-year-old Quentin Romero, both of Rawlins, Wyoming; and 30-year-old Harmanjeet Singh of Nova Scotia, Canada, were killed at the scene of the crash. Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County treated 18 injuries from the crash. No additional details about injuries are available. “Due to complexities in this crash, off-scene investigations and crash reconstructions conducted by WHP are expected to take quite some time,” said Tim Cameron, Colonel of the Wyoming Highway Patrol. “We appreciate everyone’s patience as we examine all the evidence and work toward developing a crash narrative and cause that is as accurate as possible.” Work continues to move I-80 traffic out of the community of Green River and back onto the interstate. “It is imperative that folks stay away from the westbound tunnel for their safety,” Cameron said. “Between the debris that could still fall and serious concerns about the air quality in the tunnel, it’s too dangerous for anyone without proper protective equipment and training to be in the area. We do not want to add any more injuries as a result of this horrible event.”
