One person died Tuesday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash southeast of Milbank.

Names of the two people involved are not yet being released pending notification of family members.

Preliminary information indicates that a 2008 Buick Lucerne was southbound on 482nd Avenue when it crossed the center line into the northbound lane and collided with a northbound 2014 Kenworth T800 semi-truck and trailer.

The 16-year-old male driver of the Buick was pronounced dead at the scene. His seat belt use is unknown. The 32-year-old male driver of the semi-truck, who was wearing a seat belt, was not injured.

South Dakota’s Highway Patrol is in charge of the investigation. All information is preliminary at this time.
