TRUCKS ACCIDENT * USA: Fatal pileup

* Wyoming - Charge reduced against trucker in 
 -- Crews reopened Interstate 80 on Tuesday, about 32 hours after a fiery chain-reaction crash involving more than 60 vehicles killed two people and became the second weather-related pileup to shut down the major trucking corridor in less than a week... Authorities dropped an aggravated vehicular homicide charge against a Canadian truck driver involved in Monday's crash on a foggy, slick highway in southeast Wyoming... Instead, Alex Dragaytsev, 45, of Longueuil, Canada, was cited for failure to use caution for hazardous conditions and released from custody, Albany County prosecuting attorney Peggy Trent said... The citation carries a $60 fine that Dragaytsev can challenge or pay by April 28, Trent said. But Trent noted the crash remains under investigation... The crash occurred about 8 a.m. Monday 18 miles west of Laramie. It shut down traffic for about 100 miles in both directions on the interstate, which is a major trucking corridor across the country. On average, more than 6,000 trucks per day use the highway across Wyoming...
