Man dies in crash with semi near Hot Springs
Fall River County, S.D. – A 26-year-old Hot Springs man died Friday in a collision with a semi-truck near Hot Springs, South Dakota.
Authorities have withheld the names of those involved pending notification of their families.
Preliminary investigation by the South Dakota Highway Patrol indicates the crash occurred on U.S. Highway 18 near mile marker 25. The driver of a 2003 Honda Accord was traveling eastbound, attempting to pass another vehicle in the same direction. While doing so, the driver lost control of the Honda, veered into the westbound lane, and collided with an oncoming semi.
The driver of the Honda, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. The semi-truck driver was uninjured.
The South Dakota Highway Patrol is leading the investigation. Officials stress that all details released so far are preliminary and subject to change as the investigation continues.
