A Mitchell, S.D., man has been identified as the person who died Tuesday afternoon in a three-vehicle crash north of Huron.

Preliminary crash information indicates that a 1991 Chevrolet Silverado pickup pulling a flatbed trailer was eastbound on 202nd Avenue and failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection with South Dakota Highway 37. The pickup and trailer collided with a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix, which was southbound on Highway 37. The Grand Prix was pushed into the northbound lane where it was rear-ended by a 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche K1500 pickup which was northbound on Highway 37.

Justice Larvie, the 20-year-old passenger of the Grand Prix ,was pronounced dead at the scene. Altena Jones of Mitchell, the 20-year-old female driver of the Grand Prix, suffered life-threatening injuries and was later airlifted to a Sioux Falls hospital.

Both pickup drivers received minor injuries. Charges are pending against Nicole Wiebe of Iroquois, S.D., the 25-year-old female driver of the Chevrolet Silverado pickup.

Seat belt use of those involved in the crash is under investigation.

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