Truck-vs-moose crash on Teton Pass (WY-22, MM 15) draws full fire/EMS page late Sunday; no injuries, moose gone

Top stories

• Late-night collision on Teton Pass stands down with no injuries. At 23:08 dispatch paged Battalion 3, Engine 21, Rescue 24, Engine 61, Medic 60 and Support 69 (TG 1807) to a single-vehicle collision with unknown injuries at mile marker 15 on Highway 22, west side of the pass, with WHP requested. A second caller reported it was likely a Ford F-450 vs. moose; dispatch advised units it was actually two separate incidents — the moose strike and a nearby WHP-handled collision. Teton Valley/Driggs units were unavailable (committed to a fire). At 23:20 Battalion 3 confirmed no injuries and stood everyone down; the truck drove back toward Jackson with a damaged windshield, and the moose was gone on arrival (23:27). A deputy stayed with the WHP incident awaiting a tow (23:32).

• One adult male arrested after field sobriety tests at the Hwy 22 summit. Around 20:34, units 2245 and 2222 ran FSTs at the summit on Highway 22 with WHP unit 100 assisting (staged at milepost 8). At 21:02 the driver — one adult male — was arrested and taken to jail; a tow (Ron's/Palisades) took possession of the vehicle by 21:26. A separate REDDI at 20:36 for a blue Nissan Rogue eastbound on 22 ended in a verbal warning for equipment with a negative sobriety check (21:00).

• In-custody medical: downtown arrestee taken to St. John's. A traffic stop/arrest at Broadway and Jackson St around 01:44 turned medical when the man reported chest pain and shortness of breath (01:48); Medic 10 responded and transported him to St. John's (~02:03) with an officer riding along. Units requested a urine kit at the hospital, and an officer later went 10-6 on a search warrant (02:57). The stop appears linked to an orange Dodge Challenger (later transcribed "Charger") contacted twice overnight, including an open-container citation at 00:48.

• Reported hunters trespassing in Wilson. At 09:51, deputies were sent to a driveway on a West-side road in Wilson (road name garbled in transcription) after an RP watching his cameras reported a vehicle parked on his property and two people possibly hunting on it. Deputies requested a Game & Fish warden (09:54) and cleared by about 10:17, apparently gone on arrival.

• Two checks on elderly residents, both resolved. At 04:08 Medic 10 responded to West Sagebrush Drive for a 91-year-old woman's Life Alert activation; the monitoring company confirmed she had hit the button by mistake and medics were canceled at 04:24. Separately at 15:15, deputies and staged medics (one mile out, 15:53) checked on a 91-year-old woman living alone on East Little School Road in Kelly who hadn't been heard from in days; by 16:09 she had made contact with her caregiver and all units cleared.

• Evening REDDI run on the highways. Besides the summit arrest: a pearl-white SUV southbound on US-89 from Rafter J (19:53, relayed to WHP), and a white 4Runner eastbound on Hwy 22 from MM 9 tailgating and flashing lights into Wilson (22:26) — it passed a deputy near the sand pit; the complaint was also broadcast on mutual aid (22:28). Earlier, a silver Chevy pickup with Wisconsin plates was reported passing on double yellows on Hwy 22 eastbound at State Line (07:14).

Also on the air

A steady traffic-enforcement day: roughly two dozen plate checks and 27 records checks, with 8 logged stops clearing mostly as warnings (speed, stop signs, headlamps, a left turn) plus a couple of citations. Other texture: an overnight speeding/disturbance complaint at Roberta Drive and Spring Gulch Road (00:44, nothing found by 03:11), a car bumper reported in the northbound lane of US-89 at MM 158 (07:21, WHP advised), a non-reportable accident (13:08), a barking-dog complaint at a Rancher Street apartment complex (19:03), a long-running upstairs-stomping noise complaint at a Gregory Lane apartment building (19:59), and a garbled animal call near US-89/Hoback where the advice was to let the animal "work its way out" (21:10). START bus traffic included a balky farebox/MDT unit needing repeated restarts, questions about the hospital-stop detour (temporary stop at Redmond and Broadway, detour apparently over by midday), a driver relief at Miller Park, and one run delayed about 30 minutes.

By the numbers

• 1,348 transmissions across 337 exchanges (130 short status-only exchanges omitted from the log).
• Busiest talkgroup: TG 1801 Teton County law dispatch, 1,037 transmissions; then TG 1807 Fire/EMS (108) and TG 1820 START (77).
• Busiest hour: 23:00 (209 transmissions — the Teton Pass crash), followed by 17:00 (139).
• Categories: status 130, unclassified 78, medical 35, records-check 27, plate-check 24, traffic-complaint 10, traffic-stop 8, crash 8, animal 6, transit 3, welfare 3, and one each noise-parking, fire, warrant-ops, suspicious, hazard.

Caveats

• Not all of this is Teton County. TG 13751 (49 transmissions, ~14 pages) is Fremont County EMS paging out of Lander/Riverton; TG 109 is statewide WHP and today carried mostly I-80 complaints near Rock Springs/Fort Bridger; both TG 113 livestock calls (00:34 US-26 MM 105, 08:33 US-287 MM 23) and the 13:34 hit-and-run AOA (WY-239/Hwy 34, Caribou County ID → Lincoln County) are outside the county. These are excluded from the incident log below.
• Transcription quality. Unit numbers, road names and vehicle descriptions are frequently garbled (e.g., "Challenger" vs "Charger," the Wilson road name, "Willisville" vs Little School Road — the latter corrected on air). Lines marked [suspect] are low-confidence; treat specifics as approximate.
• Possible coverage gaps. Traffic nearly disappears 05:00–09:00 (3–7 transmissions some hours), which may be a genuinely quiet morning or a receiver gap; one 15:12 exchange logged on an unidentified talkgroup (TG 1420) doesn't match the day's stats block.
