Construction worker killed in Beadle County crash

WESSINGTON, S.D. – The South Dakota Highway Patrol says a construction zone worker died Tuesday from injuries sustained in a two-vehicle crash two miles east of Wessington, SD.

The names of the persons involved have not been released pending notification of family members.

Preliminary crash information indicates the driver of a 2022 Dodge Ram was traveling westbound on US Highway 14 near mile marker 319 and entered a construction zone.

A construction worker ‘Flagger’ was on on-scene directing westbound traffic to slow down and stop.

The driver of the Dodge had stopped as directed. As the driver of a 2023 International MV607 traveling the same direction approached, he collided with the Dodge, and then struck the Flagger.

The Flagger, a 44-year-old female, suffered fatal injuries. The two drivers sustained minor injuries and were transported to a nearby hospital.

The South Dakota Highway Patrol is investigating the crash.
