SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Authorities say two victims who died recently in a highway crash in southeastern South Dakota were from Nebraska.
The state Department of Public Safety says 75-year-old Albert Wingate and Marilyn Wingate, 74, of Norfolk, died a week or more following the Sept. 11 crash in Hutchinson County.
Safety officials say the driver of a pickup truck pulling an empty horse trailer tried to pass a semi on Highway 81 near Freeman but collided head-on with the Wingates’ Chevy Corvette.
The couple was airlifted to a Sioux Falls hospital. Marilyn Wingate died Monday. Albert Wingate died Sept. 18.
The 28-year-old pickup driver was taken to a Freeman hospital for treatment of his injuries.
