Sheridan Area Teen Dies In Vehicle-Bull Collision On Decker Road
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.

Yes Bruce. The vehicle eventually stopped on its own without the control or assistance of the driver. It’s a technical term for their reports. It is really sad this happened.
Our prayers are with the Laumbachs and the rest of their family and friends at this time. There are some very special things that have come out of this tragedy in the midst of their grief. Some things that the family may or may not share over time. Keep them all in your prayers. This has been very difficult for them and the Sheridan community knows how to rise up and support our own. Let’s show them our love.
