One person died after their motorcycle left the west side of the road about a half mile south of Garden Creek Road, Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper Austin McDaniel told K2 Radio News at the scene.

The wreck was reported to authorities at 8:30 p.m. Emergency responders have since recovered the body.
