Motorcyclist killed in highway crash

A Minnesota woman was killed last week in a motorcycle crash on U.S. Hwy 14.

The incident took place near Sundance at milepost 191.4 on July 5 at around 11:15 a.m.

The 61-year-old driver, Kelly Pierson, was traveling eastbound. According to the Wyoming Department of Transportation, witnesses said she was traveling well under the speed limit.

Pierson had just exited from a curve onto a straight stretch of road. Marks on the roadway indicate that she lost control of the motorcycle, laying it over.

Pierson was separated from the motorcycle and came to rest under the guardrail.
