Sioux Falls man killed in Saturday crash near Gayville

GAYVILLE, S.D. — A Sioux Falls man has been identified as the person who died in a Saturday night crash near Gayville.

Shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 17, police in Yankton County were called to mile marker 393 of South Dakota Highway 50, roughly five miles west of Gayville or seven miles east of Yankton, for a report of two-vehicle crash.

The South Dakota Highway Patrol said a 2002 Ford van was driving eastbound in the westbound lanes of Highway 50 when it crashed head-on into a 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe, which was driving westbound.

Troopers said 45-year-old Michael Myers, of Sioux Falls, was not wearing a seat belt and died from his injuries.

The driver of the Chevrolet, 29-year-old Alex Heine, of Fordyce, Nebraska, sustained serious, life-threatening injuries, and was airlifted to a Sioux Falls hospital. His passenger, 28-year-old Emily Heine, also of Fordyce, Nebraska, sustained minor injuries and was taken to a separate hospital. Both were wearing seat belts.

The South Dakota Highway Patrol continues to investigate the crash.

A South Dakota native, Hunter joined Forum Communications as a reporter for the Mitchell (S.D.) Republic in June 2021 and now works as a digital reporter for Sioux Falls Live, with a primary focus on crime in Sioux Falls and government in Lincoln County.

A multi-rotor drone and its fixed-wing, one-way attack counterpart that flanked a wall-sized American flag inside a northern Sioux Falls warehouse Friday weren’t the main attraction.

Rather, Pentagon officials and South Dakota dignitaries gathered for an invite-only ceremony at MMS Product, Inc. to get a look at a newly developed military advancement that will give South Dakota a front-row seat to the U.S. military’s race to drone warfare dominance.

Abortion access campaign tests South Dakota laws, free speech standards

A cease and desist order and a national abortion-access organization told to stop advertising in South Dakota are testing both free speech and consumer protection laws.

Attorney General Marty Jackley this week issued notice to Mayday Health directing the nonprofit to halt a statewide gas station ad campaign launched earlier this month, spotlighting South Dakota’s near-total abortion ban, First Amendment protections and the reach of the Deceptive Trade Practices regulations.
