I-90 Crashes and Injury Risks in South Dakota
Interstate 90 is one of South Dakota’s most heavily traveled roadways, stretching across the state and connecting rural communities with major cities. Crashes on this highway—such as the one Monday near Spencer—often result in injuries due to the high speeds and long stretches between exits or emergency pull-offs.
The area around mile marker 353 serves as a key point for travelers exiting toward Spencer and other local destinations. Collisions here may occur due to sudden merging, distracted driving, or fatigue during long trips—factors common along rural interstates.
Even when weather conditions are favorable, high-speed impacts on I-90 can lead to serious injuries that require immediate medical attention. First responders in South Dakota are trained to address these situations quickly, stabilizing victims and helping prevent further complications.
For those injured in highway crashes, recovery often involves more than physical healing. Insurance claims, transportation issues, and follow-up care can all create added stress. Local Accident Reports works to help crash victims understand their rights and connect with trustworthy local support.
