Highway Patrol: Arlington Woman Dies In One-car Crash

ARLINGTON, S.D. (AP) — Authorities say a 71-year-old woman from eastern South Dakota who crashed her car Friday night died because of a medical issue and not the crash itself.

The South Dakota Highway Patrol says Arlington resident Barbara Hudy was driving a 2000 Dodge Stratus near the intersection of U.S. Highway 81 and Main Street in Arlington.

Authorities say her car drifted to the right and left the road. Her car entered a yard, passed through several pine trees and struck an electrical box.

Hudy was pronounced dead at the scene. A coroner’s investigation concluded she did not die from the crash.
