CHEYENNE, Wyo. -- A Good Samaritan and a motorcyclist were killed when they were hit by a church van north of Cheyenne, Wyo., Sunday evening. According to the Wyoming Highway Patrol, Jeffrey A. Lingwall, 40, was driving a Yamaha motorcycle on U.S. Highway 85 at about 8:15 p.m., when it hit a deer in the road about 29 miles north of Cheyenne. The impact killed the deer and knocked Lingwall from his motorcycle. A number of people stopped to help Lingwall as he was lying in the northbound lane of the highway, including Stephen M. Thompson, 48. The state patrol said that a church van from Scottsbluff, Neb., was heading northbound when the driver apparently did not see people in the roadway and struck Lingwall and Thompson, killing them. None of the five juvenile passengers in the van were injured, but the state patrol said charges may be pending against the driver of the van. The van was one of three carrying a youth group from a church in Scottsbluff. The weather was clear and the road was dry at the time of the accident. The highway was closed for almost four hours while the accident was investigated. Lingwall was a resident of Scottsbluff and Thompson lived in Cheyenne, according to the state patrol. |
