Intersection Collisions on South Dakota Highways
Collisions at highway-adjacent intersections—like the one reported Tuesday at Hwy 115 and Tiger Way—are a continuing safety concern across South Dakota. While Tiger Way provides local access to schools and residential areas in Dell Rapids, Hwy 115 carries a steady stream of regional traffic, including higher-speed vehicles entering or exiting town.
Intersections where local roads meet state highways often see an increased risk of injury crashes due to speed differentials, limited visibility, and misjudged turns. Even a brief lapse in attention can result in a serious collision—particularly when one or more vehicles are traveling at highway speeds. The injuries reported in Tuesday’s crash reflect how quickly everyday travel can become dangerous when these conditions converge.
South Dakota transportation officials regularly stress the need for extra caution at highway intersections, especially in semi-urban areas like Dell Rapids where rural roads transition into residential and school zones. Drivers are encouraged to come to complete stops, scan for fast-moving cross traffic, and avoid distractions when approaching these high-risk areas.
Crashes like this can have lasting impacts for those involved, especially when injuries require medical attention, time off work, or prolonged recovery. Understanding your legal and health-related options after such incidents is essential.
