Fatal crash victim identified

One woman died and an infant passenger was injured in a single vehicle crash six miles southwest of Worthing just before noon last Wednesday.

The South Dakota Department of Public Safety is reporting 24 year old Mikelena Flora Neal of Lake Andes was driving a Nissan Maxima west on 282nd Street near 469th Avenue when she lost control of the vehicle, over-corrected, and left the south side of the road. The vehicle then rolled and Neal was ejected. She was not wearing a seatbelt.

An infant passenger who was properly restrained remained in the vehicle and sustained minor injuries. Neal sustained fatal injuries.

The South Dakota Highway Patrol is investigating the crash.
