YANKTON, S.D. (AP) — Two people are dead following a head-on crash that caused a car to catch on fire east of Yankton.

The state Highway Patrol says a 31-year-old man was driving a car on the wrong side of South Dakota Highway 50 around 5:30 a.m. Monday and collided head-on with an eastbound car driven by a 30-year-old woman.

The Highway Patrol says the collision caused the man's car to catch on fire. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman was transported to a Sioux Falls hospital, where she later died.

The drivers' names haven't being released.

The Highway Patrol says a pickup truck and a car driving through the crash scene each struck one of the vehicles involved in the collision. Neither the truck's nor the car's occupants were injured.
