South Dakota
If there’s an animal dead in the neighborhood, who you goin’ to call? Dead Animal Recovery!
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) – We see them living their everyday lives, trying to stay away from human interaction, but occasionally they end up crossing the road at the wrong time.
State Farm and Pewtrusts both claim South Dakota ranks number four in the nation when it comes to animal-vehicle collisions, citing a 1 in 53 chance someone would hit an animal. In Rapid City, if this were to happen, a partnership between Pennington County and the city would mean the Dead Animal Recovery team would be sent to the location.
“Last year we picked up about 500, we had 500 calls for dead animal recovery. That includes deer, cats, dogs, raccoons, skunks pretty much any animal we will pick up,” said Rapid City Public Works program development manager Jesse Rieb.
While the service itself is niche, the need is the opposite, with DAR being a good reason dead animals aren’t seen on the side of the roads, keeping those streets roadkill-free.
If you have a request for DAR, you can call (605) 394-2192 for Pennington County Dispatch, or you can call Rapid City’s Public Works Call Center at (605) 791-5577.

5 safety tips for winter driving conditions in Arizona
Taking a trip up to Flagstaff or driving through Prescott during the Arizona winter? Here are five tips to stay safe when cruising on winter roads.
The Republic
State Sen. Anthony Kern, R-Glendale, announced on the social media platform X on Sunday that he had left the hospital, about a week after breaking bones and suffering other injuries in a single-car crash in South Dakota.
Kern, who was visiting family, was riding with a friend through a snowstorm when the car hit ice and the driver lost control.
He posted that he was out of the critical stage and making his way back to Phoenix, but he couldn’t fly due to a collapsed lung.
Kern is finishing his first state Senate term after three terms in the state House. This fall, he opted to run for a congressional seat rather than seek a return to the state Capitol but lost the GOP race for Congressional District 8 to Abe Hamadeh.
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – Partly cloudy skies are expected. A stray shower or two will be possible, but chances aren’t great. Highs will be in the 40s and 50s for much of KOTA Territory.
Wind gusts could range from 30 to 40 mph at times – especially across western South Dakota.
We’ll remain mild all Christmas week with highs in the 40s to near 50°. Mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies will be likely all week long. It could get a little breezy on Christmas Day, but nothing too crazy.
