PIEDMONT, S.D. – The South Dakota Highway Patrol is investigating a crash involving multiple vehicles that occurred Friday afternoon.

The crash happened at approximately 4:20 on the westbound lanes of I-90 at mile marker 47.

The crash resulted in the closure of all westbound traffic at the accident scene. Summerset PD was first at the scene and immediately began all the work to prevent additional crashes. This resulted in traffic being diverted off the interstate and on to Sturgis Road.

Traffic was re-routed until the accident scene could be cleaned up.
