BROOKINGS — A 56-year-old man died Friday afternoon in a single-vehicle crash in Moody County.

The name of the person involved has not been released pending notification of family members.

Preliminary crash information indicates the driver of a 2020 Ford Expedition was traveling north on Interstate 29 when, for unknown reasons, the vehicle left the road entering the center median where it crashed before coming to a stop in the Big Sioux River. Law enforcement and bystanders on-scene pulled the driver from the vehicle to a nearby sand bar, where EMTs declared the driver dead.

The South Dakota Highway Patrol is investigating the crash. All information released so far is only preliminary.
