A Sheridan area teen is dead after colliding the vehicle she was driving in with a bull not far north of the Sheridan city limits.
According to the Wyoming Highway Patrol, at around 10:45pm on Saturday, September 6th, a trooper was attempting to put a black Angus bull into a fenced area, at around mile post 3 on Wyoming State Highway 338, aka Decker Road.
The bull entered the roadway, crossed the center line and into the southbound lane of travel.
Eighteen year old Laylie Laumbach was driving southbound in her vehicle on the highway at around that time and collided with the bull.
The Patrol says Laumbach was unaware of the situation, and after the collision, her vehicle went off the roadway to the right, drove through a right-of-way fence, and came to an uncontrolled rest against a tree in a river bottom.
Laumbach was wearing her seat belt, but did not survive the crash.
