A Huron man has been identified as the person who died Wednesday morning in a two-vehicle crash near Carpenter.

A 2008 Chevrolet Uplander mini van was eastbound on South Dakota Highway 28. A GMC 3500 van was westbound at the same location when the driver lost control on the ice covered road. The GMC vehicle slid into the eastbound lane and collided with the Uplander.

Both women were wearing seatbelts. Charges are pending against Rosendahl.
