A multiple vehicle accident on Interstate 90 between Presho and Kennebec on Sunday afternoon left one man with life-threatening injuries.
The accident occurred at 1:57pm CT in a head-to-head construction zone. A 56-year-old man from Billings, MT, was driving a 1998 Winnebago camper eastbound when he collided head-on with a 2018 Ford Expedition traveling westbound. The driver of the Expedition, a 47-year-old man from Edgewood, WA, received serious, non-life-threatening injuries. His wife and child also suffered minor injuries.
The driver of a pickup and camper following the Winnebago attempted to avoid hitting the Ford Expedition, which caused the pickup and camper to jackknife. A westbound vehicle behind the Ford Expedition was hit by the Winnebago, but neither of these drivers were injured.
The drivers of the Winnebago and the Expedition were both life-flighted to Sioux Falls. Traffic was briefly rerouted until both lanes reopened.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation, but no charges have been filed at this time.
