The crash occurred 26 miles south of Meeteetse, and closed the highway in both directions for several hours, while authorities worked to contain the scene. Both vehicles burned in the incident, in which a pickup and a larger truck hit head on. Beers says that the crash allegedly involved alcohol use.
