A 66 year old man from Katy, Texas, has died as a result of injuries sustained in a three-vehicle crash about 9:30am July 14, 2022, in Summerset.
Preliminary crash information from the South Dakota Highway Patrol indicates that a 2019 Harley Davidson Tri-Glide Ultra motorcycle was westbound on Interstate 90 when it slowed down to avoid a large box that had fallen from a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado pickup. The motorcycle was rear-ended by a GMC Sierra pickup which was pulling a utility trailer.
Gary Holcombe, the 66-year-old motorcycle driver, was thrown from the motorcycle and landed in the north ditch of the interstate. He was not wearing a helmet and was airlifted to a Rapid City hospital. He died there Wednesday (July 20, 2022).
Neither of the male pickup drivers were injured. Charges are pending against both.
South Dakota’s Highway Patrol is investigating the crash.
The Highway Patrol is an agency of the South Dakota Department of Public Safety.
