SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Authorities say three adults were killed and two children were injured in a crash just west of Sioux Falls.
The Department of Public Safety says a car was eastbound on South Dakota Highway 42 just before 1 p.m. Saturday when it crossed the center line and collided with a westbound pickup. The truck caught fire.
Both men in the pickup - the 57-year-old driver and 44-year-old passenger - died of their injuries. So did the 39-year-old woman who was driving the car. Two boys in her car, ages 10 and 5, suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
The people in the car all wore seatbelts. Authorities weren’t immediately sure about the men in the truck.
Names were not immediately released pending notification of relatives.
The South Dakota Highway Patrol is investigating.
