Stolen Vehicle Investigation Unravels

South Dakota police were looking into a stolen car when they found the scene of a fatal crash south of Sioux Falls. Around 5 a.m. on Saturday, the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office got a report of a stolen car from a farm. This made them think that the thief had been in an accident. The search that followed along nearby roads led to a terrible scene: a pickup truck had gone off the road, rolling over several times, and killing three people.

Fatal Crash Uncovered During Investigation

The first report said that a car had been stolen from a farm, which made police think that the thief may have been there when the car crashed. The next search showed the scene of a terrible accident involving a pickup truck that had rolled over several times, killing two people right away.

When the deputy got to the scene of the accident, he saw the terrible damage and found that a third person had died from their injuries at the scene of the accident. As word spread that three people had died in the crash, the situation became more serious.

Third, a fourth person was found missing in the wreckage. They were thought to have left the scene of the accident. Surprisingly, this person was found to have stolen another car from a nearby farm after the accident. After several hours, police found the stolen car and the person at a home in Beresford. The person was then taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of his injuries. South Dakota police were looking into a stolen car when they found the scene of a fatal crash south of Sioux Falls.

Ongoing Investigation Raises Questions

The investigation into what happened is still going on, so there are still questions about the order of events and how the stolen car was connected to the crashed pickup truck. The authorities are working hard to figure out what happened in this sad turn of events.

When asked for more information, the sheriff’s office officials did not quickly give it, but they did say that the stolen car and the crashed pickup truck were likely the same incident. The lack of clarity makes a situation that is already difficult even more difficult.

As people in the community try to come to terms with the shocking discovery, police are still trying to piece together the events that led to the stolen car, the fatal crash, and the later attempt to get away from police.
