Man Driving Wrong Way on I-29 Dies in Crash with Semitrailer

BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) — A Brandon man died over the weekend when his car collided with a semitrailer while he was driving on the wrong side of Interstate 29.

The Highway Patrol says 20-year-old Adam Bauer was driving north in the southbound lanes of I-29 early Saturday when he struck the semi about 10 miles south of Brookings.

Bauer died at the scene. The patrol says the semi driver wasn't hurt.

Authorities are still investigating why Bauer was driving the wrong way.
