Two Women Killed in Separate Accidents in South Dakota

MOUND CITY, S.D. (AP) — A two-vehicle crash in Campbell County killed a 25-year-old woman.

The Highway Patrol did not immediately identify the victim of the Monday morning crash south of Mound City.

The woman was in a car that collided head-on with a pickup truck on U.S. Highway 83 about 8:15 a.m. The patrol says the woman was traveling north, and the crash happened in the northbound lane.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The 34-year-old man driving the pickup suffered injuries described as serious but not life-threatening.

In other accident news, authorities have identified an Ethan woman who died after losing control of her vehicle on a Davison County road.

The Highway Patrol says the car driven by 25-year-old Cassandra Wherley rolled in the ditch Sunday evening. She was thrown from the vehicle and died at the scene about 2 miles east of Ethan.

She was alone in the car.
