One man was killed in a motorcycle-pickup truck crash that occurred Sunday morning near the junction of Interstate-29/I-229 interchange.
Names of the two drivers involved are not being released pending notification of family. They were the only persons involved.
A 2004 Chevrolet Silverado pickup was traveling south on Interstate 29 when it went into the west ditch, into the median and eventually rolled, landing in the northbound lanes of I-29. A motorcycle northbound on the interstate collided with the pickup. The driver of the motorcycle was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Highway Patrol continues to investigate. Other agencies at the scene were Sioux Falls Fire and Rescue, Sioux Falls Police Department, Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Office, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, Tea Police Department and Lincoln County Coroner.
One person was killed in a two-vehicle crash that occurred early Sunday morning east of Andover, S.D.
Names of the six people involved are not being released pending notification of families.
A 2004 Montana Pontiac mini-van was eastbound on U.S. Highway 12 in the right westbound lane. It collided with a 1988 Barth Regency RV pulling a jeep that was traveling west in the same lane. The driver of the mini-van was pronounced dead at the scene. One of the five occupants in the RV sustained minor injuries.
In a separate crash, a 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier was traveling through the crash scene when it hit a tire that had come off the RV. Both occupants of the car suffered non-life threatening injuries. The driver was a male, 27, and the passenger was a 24-year-old female. Their names also have not been released.
Because of the debris, the westbound lanes of U.S. Highway 12 were closed for about 4 ½ hours.
