Cuarezma described I-80 as the “most dangerous road in United States

The section between Laramie and Rawlins first got the name. The Union Pacific and US 30 gave the Snowy Range a wide berth because of the high winds and ground blizzards in Winter. Then, along came the Feds to locate I-80. Of course they knew better than the locals and insisted the new highway track close to those beautiful mountains. It's the worst stretch of road and has the most accidents in Winter. IIRC 60 Minutes did a segment on it a long time age.
