BROOKINGS – One person died in a crash Saturday morning on Interstate 29, 7 miles west of Flandreau.
Names of those involved are not yet being released pending notification of family.
A 2005 Toyota Tundra Double Cab SR5 pickup, pulling a trailer with a utility terrain vehicle on it, was northbound on I-29 at 10:26 a.m. Saturday when the driver hit a patch of ice and lost control. The pickup entered the median, rolled and came to a final rest on its roof, near mile marker 114.
The 60-year-old male driver, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle onto the interstate’s southbound lanes. He was struck by a southbound 2018 GMC Acadia SUV and was pronounced dead at the scene.
An 11-year-old female passenger, who was in the pickup, received minor injuries. The 54-year-old male driver of the SUV was not injured. Both were wearing seat belts.
South Dakota’s Highway Patrol continues to investigate the crash. All information is only preliminary at this point.
