What Happened at Windmill Road and Pershing
Cheyenne police said the crash happened at about 7:22 a.m., when an oncoming car struck the teenager as she crossed the street on her way to school. A family member identified the vehicle as a Jeep Wrangler. The teenager, a Cheyenne East High School freshman, was taken by ambulance to Cheyenne Regional Medical Center. A family member said she broke her collarbone and three ribs and had bruises and road rash, and that doctors kept her overnight for observation. Police said the motorist remained at the scene.

Cheyenne police said the driver was cited. The department has not released the driver's name. Police have not said whether speed or distraction played a role.
Which agency investigates often depends on where the crash happened. Highway crashes are often handled by state police or highway patrol, and crashes on city streets by local officers.

Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
