One person died Monday morning in a two-vehicle crash approximately five miles north of Rapid City.

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

Preliminary crash information indicates that a 2018 GMC Yukon Denali was southbound on Haines Ave near the intersection with Hale Place when it crossed the center line and collided with a northbound 2013 Subaru BRZ.

The 50-year-old male driver of the Subaru, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was later pronounced dead at a Rapid City hospital. Neither the 14-year-old female driver of the GMC nor the 50-year-old female passenger were injured. Both were wearing seatbelts.

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