ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. (AP) — A 9-year-old boy found walking alone alongside Interstate 80 in southwestern Wyoming is reunited with his parents.
The Wyoming Highway Patrol got word about the boy Saturday afternoon.
Troopers were headed to find the boy when a driver picked him up and took him to the Green River Police Department.
Patrol officials say troopers worked with police to find the boy’s family in Rock Springs.
The parents said they were driving two separate vehicles when one had a flat tire.
They repaired the tire and drove off without realizing the boy wasn’t in either vehicle.
Troopers concluded that the incident wasn’t suspicious.
