A woman from Letcher died Wednesday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash in Sanborn County.

The South Dakota Highway Patrol says 83-year-old Shirley Jean Ruml was driving out a private driveway onto State Highway 37, seven miles northeast of Letcher, just after 5:00 PM.

Ruml was crossing the northbound lane to turn south when her mini-van was struck on the driver's side by a northbound pickup driven by 52-year-old Timothy Gerald Klaas, also of Woonsocket.

Ruml died from her injuries, while Klaas had minor injuries.

The Patrol says Klaas was wearing a seat belt, while Ruml was not.
