On October 4th south of Afton, Wyoming a collision occurred between a motorcycle and a pickup truck resulting in the death of the driver of the motorcycle. A contributing factor in the accident was the turn signals and brake lights on the truck were covered in dry mud causing the motorcycle driver to not see a turn signal and brake lights to realize the truck was about to turn in front of him. Wyoming Highway Patrol reminds drivers that with the muddy off-road driving that comes during the current hunting season and winter weather becoming more frequent by the day, it is important to remember to clean the mud and snow off all lights on vehicles. Something else to remember is that newer vehicles utilizing LED lights do not get hot and subsequently do not melt built up snow and ice like older lights with conventional bulbs.
