SIOUX FALLS — Two people died following a three-vehicle crash west of Sioux Falls on Friday, Nov. 11.
Authorities responded at approximately 12:40 p.m. on Friday afternoon to a three-vehicle crash about three miles west of Sioux Falls.
Preliminary crash information indicates that a 2005 Ford F-150 pickup was eastbound on Interstate 90 when it rear-ended an eastbound 2019 Toyota Prius. The pickup driver lost control of the vehicle and the pickup entered the median and continued into the westbound lane, where it collided head-on with a westbound 2017 Dodge Ram 3500 SLT pickup pulling a gooseneck trailer.
Both the 70-year-old male driver of the Ford pickup and the 34-year-old male driver of the Dodge pickup died as a results of their injuries. Their seatbelt use is under investigation.
The two 74-year-old occupants of the Prius, a male driver and a female passenger, were not injured. Both were wearing seatbelts.
