Both vehicles were engulfed in fire, resulting in fatal injuries.
Three people tragically lost their lives on Monday afternoon in a multiple-vehicle crash that occurred 13 miles west of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The incident took place around 4:16 p.m., according to the Department of Public Safety.
Reports indicate that a 2014 Ram 3500 was traveling west on I-90 when it sideswiped several vehicles. The Ram then crossed into the eastbound lane and collided head-on with an RV. Both vehicles were engulfed in flames, which destroyed any identifying features and documents.
As a result of the crash, traffic in both directions had to be detoured for several hours. Unfortunately, all three individuals involved suffered fatal injuries. The driver of the 2014 Ram 3500, as well as the driver and passenger of the RV, succumbed to their injuries.
To respect their privacy during this difficult time, authorities have decided not to release the names of those involved until family members have been notified. South Dakota's Highway Patrol is currently conducting an investigation into the cause of this devastating accident.
The news spread quickly throughout Hartford and its surrounding communities as crews responded promptly to assist at the scene. Our thoughts go out to all those affected by this tragic event.
