CANTON, S.D. (AP) - A 45-year-old man is dead after a car crash in southeastern South Dakota.

Authorities say the man was driving a 2000 Chevrolet Impala LS north of Canton when he drove onto the shoulder Tuesday morning. The driver overcorrected, sending the car across both lanes and into the ditch where it rolled several times.

The man, who was driving alone, was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the car. He died at the scene.



The name of the victim was not immediately released. The South Dakota Highway Patrol is investigating.
