BALTIC, S.D. (AP) — An 89-year-old man is dead after crashing his vehicle into a bridge pillar that supports a portion of Interstate 29 in southeast South Dakota.

The South Dakota Highway Patrol says the Dell Rapids man died Friday afternoon. The agency is withholding the man’s name pending notification of his family.

The Highway Patrol says the incident happened at 4:40 p.m. Friday when the man was driving a 2015 Dodge Charger heading east on 250th Street near Interstate 29 west of Baltic. Authorities say the vehicle went off the roadway and hit the bridge pillar. The pillar supports the southbound land of I-29.

The Highway Patrol says the crash remains under investigation.
