The cause of the accident, which occurred about an hour and 15 minutes before sunset on Thursday, remains under investigation, according to a state police news release.
Six people from the van as well as the pickup driver, its only occupant, were killed, according to police.
The New York Times cited Fremont County coroner Brenda Dye as saying that the pickup driver was from Texas and that all six occupants of the van who died were from outside the United States, two of them from Italy.
According to Dye, two eyewitnesses to the crash jumped out of their vehicle to pull victims from the van, and managed to extract eight people from the wreckage, including a child, before the van caught fire, the Times reported.
State police said the highway was closed in both directions for nearly seven hours while emergency and transportation crews worked to manage the scene and clear the roadway.
