A 31-year-old Brookings man has died of injuries sustained in a one-vehicle crash that occurred early Saturday morning north of Brookings.

A 2004 Ford F-150 pickup was northbound on 470th Avenue when the driver lost control. The vehicle went into the east ditch, went back across the roadway and into the west ditch where it rolled.

The driver, Andrew Dahl, was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the vehicle. He suffered life-threatening injuries and was transported first via ambulance to the Brookings hospital and then airlifted to a Sioux Falls hospital. He died there on Monday, Dec. 7.

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