COTTONWOOD Two people were seriously injured in a Thursday night crash where a vehicle struck a utility pole, the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office said.
A 37-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman, both from Elysian, were transported to hospitals in Sioux Falls and Robbinsdale.
The crash was reported around 8:22 p.m., on the 3300 block of Lyon County Road 10 near Cottonwood, the Sheriff’s Office said. A single vehicle appeared to have left the roadway and hit an electrical utility pole by the side of the road.
The driver of the vehicle, Daniel Fleming, 37, and passenger Melissa Lindquist, 40, were trapped inside the damaged vehicle and needed to be extricated by firefighters. Fleming and Lindquist were both transported to Avera Marshall Medical Center, and later airlifted to other hospitals, the Sheriff’s Office said.

Deloris Richards and myself, Dennis Ozmun, are the coordinators for the Salvation Army in Lyon County. 2020 was a year like we have never experienced before. Our bell ringers were only about 40% of what we normally had, however, Lyon County stepped up to the plate and we had our best year ever with $40,358. About 88% of that stays right here in Lyon County. Thank you!
We take this opportunity to thank all of you that made our year such a success, but I personally need to thank four special people. I was quite sick for nearly all of this year’s campaign, and Deloris Richards and her husband Dick really stepped up and pulled her share and much of mine. I thank my wife Judy, who took care of most all of the scheduling. I also thank our Sheriff Eric Wallen, who on his day off placed the kettles in various business for me. Thank you!
