BUFFALO, WYOMING - Police say the 2 people killed in a head-on crash on Interstate 90 near Buffalo, Wyoming, were both elderly women.

Seventy-two-year-old Donna A. Smith of Gillette and 86-year-old Wanda W. Basham of Sheridan were both killed from injuries sustained in the Monday afternoon collision.

Wyoming Highway Patrol Sgt. Stephen Townsend says the weather was clear and Interstate 90 was dry when Basham apparently used the wrong ramp to get on the interstate and headed the wrong way, going westbound in the eastbound lanes. Townsend says Smith was headed eastbound, and neither of the drivers made any attempt to evade the head-on collision.

The crash remains under investigation.
