A Gayville, S.D. man has been identified as the person who died Friday night in a two-vehicle crash south of Elk Point.
A 2014 Ford F-150 pickup was southbound when the driver lost control due to icy road conditions. The vehicle went across the median and into the northbound lanes where it collided head-on with a northbound 2016 GMC Yukon.
Mark Erickson, the 57-year-old driver of the pickup, was partially ejected and was pronounced dead at the scene. Glynis Erickson of Gayville, the 58-year-old passenger of the pickup, suffered serious non-life threatening injuries and was taken by ambulance to the Vermillion hospital.
