CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - Authorities say two people were killed in a single-vehicle rollover crash in southeast Wyoming.

The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports 18-year-old Jonathan Vanwey was driving on Highway 34 west of Wheatland on Thursday morning when his pickup drifted off the side of the road. Vanwey overcorrected, causing the vehicle to overturn.

He and his passenger, 21-year-old Michael Driskell, died at the scene. Both were from Wheatland.

Investigators say neither was wearing a seat belt, and intoxication and inattentive driving might have played a role in the crash.
