Dell Rapids Mourns After 3 Die, 2 Injured in Car Crash

DELL RAPIDS, S.D. (AP) — The community of Dell Rapids is coming together after three people including two children were killed in a car crash near Flandreau.

The Highway Patrol says 38-year-old Joshua Krempges was driving a car that failed to yield at a rural intersection southeast of Flandreau on Monday morning and collided with a pickup truck.

Krempges and 11-year-old passenger Madyson Barbee died at the scene. Krempges' 7-year-old daughter, Mariana Krempges, died at a Sioux Falls hospital on Tuesday.

Two of Joshua Krempges' other daughters are hospitalized with life-threatening injuries.

A candlelight prayer vigil is scheduled in Dell Rapids on Monday night. Funds also have been established to help both the Krempges and Barbee families. They've already raised about $27,000. Additional fundraisers are being planned.

About 3,700 people live in Dell Rapids.
