A 38-year-old Fort Pierre, S.D., woman has been identified as the person who died in a one-vehicle crash that occurred Saturday morning near Humboldt. Four others were seriously injured.

A 2005 Chevy Trailblazer was eastbound on Interstate 90 when the driver, Jennifer Davis, lost control of the vehicle while traveling across a bridge where the pavement was ice covered. The vehicle ran off the roadway, collided with the guardrail and rolled several times.

Four of the five occupants were thrown from the vehicle. A 15-year-old female passenger was the only one not ejected. None of the five occupants were wearing seatbelts.

The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. A 14-year-old male passenger sustained life-threatening injuries. The three other passengers suffered serious non-life threatening injuries. All were taken to a Sioux Falls hospital.

South Dakota’s Highway Patrol continues to investigate the crash.
