A passenger car got crunched underneath a tanker truck on Coulter Avenue on Sunday afternoon, but no one was injured.

“Everybody got pretty lucky,” said Wyoming Highway Patrol Trooper Brett Tillery.

The crash occurred around 3:15 p.m., at the intersection of Coulter Avenue (U.S. Highway 14A) and Bent Street. The local driver of the tanker truck, owned by Nebraska-based Badlands Tank Lines, had been traveling east on the 35 mph stretch of highway when the traffic light turned yellow and then red, Tillery said.

“Where he was, [the tanker driver] didn’t feel that he had enough time to stop and slam on the brakes, so he thought he could just get through it smoothly,” Tillery said.

However, at that same time, the driver of a Buick Encore pulled onto Coulter Avenue from South Bent Street and “obviously didn’t look to their left” before making the right-hand turn, the trooper said. “They turned right into the semi’s trailer and got sucked underneath.”

The semi-truck locked its brakes, crushing a portion of the Buick but only slightly intruding into the passenger compartment of the vehicle before coming to a stop. Noting that the trailer could have rolled up over the vehicle with the driver still inside, Tillery said the situation “could have been way worse.”

Instead, the woman driving the vehicle “was able to get out safely” with no injuries, the trooper said.

The driver of the tanker was cited for failing to obey a red light. His name was not available in court records as of Monday afternoon.
