LAKE NORDEN, S.D. (AP) - A two-vehicle crash in Hamlin County killed a 69-year-old woman.

The Highway Patrol says the woman was driving a sport utility vehicle that turned in front of a pickup truck on U.S. Highway 81 about 3:30 p.m. Monday, east of Lake Norden. The truck was pulling a trailer loaded with construction equipment.

The SUV driver was pronounced dead at a Watertown hospital. Her name wasn’t immediately released.



The 17-year-old boy driving the pickup suffered minor injuries, and a 15-year-old male passenger was not hurt.
