One person died and eight others were injured in a one-vehicle crash Sunday night (8:35pm) seven miles east of Murdo.
Preliminary crash information from the South Dakota Highway Patrol indicates a 2002 Chevy Suburban, pulling a trailer, was eastbound on Interstate 90 when the driver lost control. The vehicle and trailer went into the ditch and rolled.
The 34 year old driver and eight passengers– a 33 year old woman, 3 and 12 year old males and 8, 9 10 and 11 year old females– were all injured and taken to hospitals in Chamberlain and Pierre. They were later transferred to Sioux Falls. The adult female passenger, who had been thrown from the vehicle, later died at a Sioux Falls hospital as a result of her injuries.
Seat belt use for all of the occupants is under investigation. Names of the people involved are not yet being released.
