One person died and another person was injured early Friday night in a two-vehicle south of Huron.

Names of the two persons involved have not yet been released pending notification of family members.

Preliminary crash information indicates a 2018 Ford 150 pickup was eastbound on 33rd Street Southwest and failed to yield at a stop sign. The vehicle collided in the intersection with a 2015 Nissan Sentra that was southbound on South Dakota Highway 37.

Both drivers were taken by ambulance to the Huron hospital. The 22-year-old male driver of Nissan later died at the hospital. The 65-year-old male driver of the pickup suffered serious non-life threatening injuries.

Seatbelt use by the driver of the Nissan is undetermined. The driver of the pickup was not wearing a seatbelt.

The inside lane of South Dakota Highway 37 was closed to traffic for several hours.

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