Joshua Sims, 40, died despite wearing a seat belt, according to a crash report from the Wyoming Highway Patrol.

The crash occurred at about 12:30 p.m. Friday on US 287/WY 789 near Bairoil, between Muddy Gap and Rawlins.

Sims had been driving a Ford Freestar southbound when the vehicle crossed the center line, entering the northbound lane and hitting the corner of a house that was being transported by a commercial vehicle.

The driver of the commercial truck was not injured.
