A 15-year-old male from Stickney, S.D., has been identified as the person who died Friday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash east of Stickney.

Preliminary crash information indicates that a 2018 Polaris Sportsman 450 H.O. four wheeler was eastbound when it turned south onto 389th Avenue. The vehicle slid around the corner and into the path of a 2004 Peterbilt 379 semi-truck and trailer that was northbound on 389th Avenue.

Dawson Overweg, the driver of the four wheeler, was thrown from the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene. Seth Dykstra of Stickney was the 20-year-old driver of the semi-truck. He was not injured.

South Dakota’s Highway Patrol is investigating the crash. All information released so far is only preliminary.
