Road collision injures 3 near Corson

Date:

On Friday, October 25, three people were hit by a vehicle on 258th Street 2 miles north of Corson while trying to care for a dog that was hit on the road.

According to KELO, a 38-year old woman and three teenaged girls hit the dog, and were attempting to assess its condition with a 23-year old woman, who was identified as the dog’s owner. Per Caring Bridge, the 23- year old woman was dog sitting for her parents when the dog wandered onto the road.

While the two adults and one teenager were assessing the animal’s condition, the other teenagers were directing traffic with their cellphones, but one driver, identified as Kelli Tyrrell of Brandon, did not respond and hit the two adults and one teenager.

The 38- year old woman and 23- year old woman are currently hospitalized with critical injuries, and the 15-year old teenager received serious but non-threatening injuries. Per Caring Bridge, the 23-year old woman “suffered a brain bleed, brain contusion, many broken bones in her extremities, a broken pelvis, several broken vertebrae, a hip dislocation, an open ankle fracture dislocation, and has a host of scrapes and bruises all over her body.” Details about the other victims were unavailable and the driver was arrested.

The Caring Bridge site alleges the driver was drunk, though a statement from the South Dakota Highway Patrol states the investigation is ongoing.
