PIERRE (AP) - The South Dakota Highway Patrol has honored a Summit woman for her efforts to help the victim of a vehicle crash late last year in rural Grant County.
Authorities say Kathleen Neyssen came across the crash and tended to the injured driver until emergency crews arrived, then stayed at the scene to help first-responders despite bitter cold and windy conditions.
Col. Craig Price recently presented Neyssen with the Superintendent's Performance Award, one of the most prestigious given by the Highway Patrol.
