VERMILLION, S.D. (AP) — The South Dakota Highway Patrol says a 75-year-old woman has died from the injuries she sustained in a two-vehicle crash in Vermillion.

The woman has been identified as Rosie Roegiers, of Burbank. The Highway Patrol on Monday said Roegiers died Friday at a Sioux Falls hospital.

Authorities say the incident happened Thursday evening at the intersection of South Dakota Highway 50 bypass and Dakota Street. Roegiers was the front passenger of a 2005 Honda CRV that collided with a 2004 Buick Century.

The Honda’s driver and another passenger sustained minor injuries.

The Highway Patrol says charges are pending against the 81-year-old driver of the Buick, who was treated for serious, non-life threatening injuries.

Authorities say alcohol was not a factor in the crash, which remains under investigation.
