One person died and another person was injured Tuesday night in a two-vehicle crash west of Canistota.
Names of the two people involved are not being released pending notification of family members.
Preliminary crash information indicates that a 2013 Ford Taurus was westbound on 261st Street and did not stop for a posted stop sign. It collided in the intersection with a 2005 Chevy Suburban that was southbound on U.S. Highway 81.
A 64-year-old female, who was driving the Suburban, was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the vehicle. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 20-year-old female driver of the Taurus was wearing a seat belt. She suffered serious non-life threatening injuries and was taken by ambulance to a Sioux Falls hospital. Charges are pending against that driver.
South Dakota’s Highway Patrol is investigating the crash. All information released so far is only preliminary.
