IPSWICH, S.D. (AP) - A second person has died as a result of a fiery weekend crash in Edmunds County.

The Highway Patrol says a pickup truck eastbound on U.S. Highway 12 crossed the centerline about midday Sunday and collided with a westbound car.

The car caught fire, and the 24-year-old driver was declared dead at the scene west of Ipswich.



Authorities say the 62-year-old driver of the pickup died of his injuries later in a Sioux Falls hospital.

Neither man was immediately identified.
