One person died Friday morning in a two-vehicle crash southeast of Tea.

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

Preliminary crash information indicates that a 2006 Dodge Durango was westbound on 276th Street when the driver lost control due to snow and ice on the roadway. The vehicle crossed the center line and collided head-on with an eastbound 2014 Peterbilt semi-truck and trailer.

The 71-year-old female driver of the Dodge was pronounced dead at the scene. Her seatbelt use is under investigation. The 32-year-old male driver of the semi-truck was wearing a seatbelt and was not injured.

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