Early Sunday morning a vehicle crashed through the Hat Six Travel Center on Hat Six Road, just east of Casper in Evansville, Wyoming. The incident caused significant damage to the building but, according to a statement posted by the travel plaza on social media, no one was injured.
Business thanks staff and community
“First and foremost, we are incredibly thankful that everyone is safe and no one was injured,” the travel center wrote. “Our employees are the heart of this business. They show up every day to serve our customers and our community, and knowing they are all safe is what matters most.”
The owners emphasized that while the physical structure can be repaired, the safety of people is paramount. “While the damage is unfortunate, buildings can be repaired and things can be replaced. People cannot,” the statement continued. “We are already working to assess the damage and begin cleanup as quickly as possible so we can get back to doing what we love — serving our customers and our community.”
Cleanup and repair efforts underway
Local crews have been dispatched to clear debris, secure the site, and evaluate the extent of the damage. Officials said the work will focus on restoring the travel center’s ability to serve motorists traveling along Interstate 25.
Oil City News has reached out to the Natrona County Sheriff’s Office for details about the driver, the vehicle involved, and any potential citations or charges. The sheriff’s office has not yet released a statement, but updates are expected as the investigation proceeds.
