LENNOX, S.D. (AP) — Authorities say a 62-year-old man has died in a one-vehicle rollover crash in southeastern South Dakota that also seriously injured a passenger.

The South Dakota Highway Patrol says Roger Almond of Lennox was pronounced dead at the scene in Lincoln County. The Highway Patrol says the passenger in the pickup, 67-year-old Peggy Almond, had serious injuries that were not life-threatening and was taken to a hospital.

According to the Highway Patrol, Roger Almond was driving the pickup on South Dakota Highway 17 when it traveled across the roadway and began to go into a ditch, hitting a delineator pole. The Highway Patrol says he overcorrected the pickup, and it went into the ditch on the other side and rolled.

Police say Roger and Peggy Almond were wearing seatbelts, and alcohol was not a factor.
