Peden dies in fatal crash
Tristin Peden,
19, of Big Piney, died Tuesday when the
pickup he was driving rolled multiple times,
according to the Wyoming Highway Patrol.
Peden was heading east on County Road
134, Calpet Road, in Sublette County when
the crash occurred shortly before 6 p.m.
Peden was driving a 2002 Dodge Dakota
pickup at a high speed when it exited the road
to the left, according to Wyoming Highway
Patrol. He then turned the pickup hard back
to the right, where it left the road.
Peden turned back in the other direction,
which caused the truck to roll multiple times,
the report said.
The Highway Patrol is investigating
speed, driver inattention and cell phone use
as possible contributing factors to the crash.
Peden was not wearing a seat belt,
according to the Highway Patrol.
