The Highway Patrol says Perry Peterson died in the crash on Friday south of Hecla.

The patrol says the driver of the go-kart attempted to make a U-turn in the middle of the road and was struck by the car, which had been travelling behind the go-kart.

A passenger in the go-kart, a 5-year-old girl, was taken by helicopter to an Aberdeen hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

The patrol says a passenger in the car suffered minor injuries.
