All three occupants were ejected from the vehicle and airlifted to a Sioux Falls hospital.

A 20-year-old passenger later died from his injuries.

The 29-year-old driver and a 25-year-old second passenger both suffered life-threatening injuries.

Charges are pending against the driver.

The names of those involved have not been released and the accident remains under investigation.
