Unsafe passing is being investigated as a contributing factor in the wreck.

A Casper man accused of shooting at law enforcement as he led them on a high-speed chase through Cheyenne has been bound over to Laramie County District Court​.

Cheyenne Police Chief Brian Kozak is lauding local law enforcement for their response to a May 3 pursuit, in which the suspect fired over 20 rounds at officers.

Wyoming is one of only 15 states with a secondary seat belt law.

Law enforcement officials say they have been writing a lot of tickets, but the problem persists.

Since passengers over the age of 12 are responsible for their own seat belt, a sixth-grader could technically be ticketed, according to Wyoming state law.

Scott's death was not the only tragedy that occurred in Wyoming over Mother's Day weekend.

The Tahoe again went off the highway to the right and went into a slide before rolling roughly three times, throwing the passenger out of the vehicle.

Highway Patrol troopers inside the vehicle suffered minor injuries.

During the chase, Childers reportedly fired at the trooper three separate times and shot at a police officer, who returned fire, striking Childers twice.
