WESSINGTON — A construction zone worker died Sept. 17 from injuries sustained in a two-vehicle crash 2 miles east of Wessington.
The names of the persons involved have not been released pending notification of family members.
Preliminary crash information indicates the driver of a 2022 Dodge Ram was traveling westbound on U.S. Highway 14 near mile marker 319 and entered a construction zone.
A construction worker flagger was on on-scene directing westbound traffic to slow down and stop. The driver of the Dodge had stopped as directed.
As the driver of a 2023 International MV607 traveling the same direction approached, he collided with the Dodge and then struck the flagger.
The flagger suffered fatal injuries.
The two drivers sustained minor injuries and were taken to a nearby hospital.
The South Dakota Highway Patrol is investigating the crash. All information released so far is only preliminary.
