Highway Patrol Identifies Man Killed in Crash near Rosholt

ROSHOLT, S.D. (AP) — The South Dakota Highway Patrol has released the name of the 26-year-old man who was killed last week in a crash west of Rosholt.

Authorities have identified the man as Sisseton resident Cole Richotte.

The Highway Patrol says Richotte was at an intersection and then turned in front of a heavy-duty pickup truck pulling a camper that was heading west on state Highway 127 about 6 p.m. Friday. Both vehicles went into the ditch, and the pickup rolled.

Thirty-eight-year-old Rosholt resident Joseph Fritz has been identified as the driver of the pickup truck. The Highway Patrol says Fritz and a 10-year-old girl who was his passenger suffered minor injuries. Another truck passenger, a 7-year-old girl, was not injured.

The crash remains under investigation.
