YANKTON, S.D. – Two Yankton residents were killed in a two-vehicle crash that occurred Sunday afternoon five miles west of Yankton.
The South Dakota Highway Patrol says Khuyen Nguyen, 52, and Ryan Nguyen, 39, were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash on South Dakota Highway 52. The two occupants in the other vehicle were injured.
The Highway Patrol said a 2014 Toyota Camry was westbound on Highway 52 at 3:10 p.m. when the vehicle, driven by Khuyen Nguyen, drifted across the center line and into the path of an eastbound 2007 Grand Cherokee Laredo Jeep.
The Highway Patrol said the driver of the jeep, Corey Sestak, tried to avoid a collision. Sestak, 32, and the passenger, Katherine Sestak, 30, both of Sioux Falls, received serious non-life threatening injuries. Both were taken to a Yankton hospital. Katherine Sestak was eventually transported to a hospital in Sioux Falls.
