CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A pickup truck ran over and killed a man during Cheyenne Frontier Days.

The accident happened Tuesday morning near a carnival area next to the rodeo grounds. The victim, whose identity wasn't released, was riding in the bed of a full-size pickup that slowed to a stop in traffic, the Cheyenne Police Department said in a statement.

The man lost his footing and fell as he was getting out of the truck bed. The driver of the pickup truck pulled ahead with the flow of traffic and ran over the man, police said.

An ambulance took the man to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Frontier Days is back on this year after being canceled for the first time in history in 2020 due to the coronavirus. The rodeo and Western culture festival draws thousands to Wyoming's capital city over the last two weeks in July.
