The South Dakota Highway Patrol has released the identity of the man who died in a single-vehicle crash Thursday morning on U.S. Highway 85 near Spearfish.
The victim has been identified as Eddie Lee Galloway, an Arizona resident. Galloway was driving a 2001 Toyota Tacoma northbound through a construction zone when he lost control of the vehicle. The truck, which was towing a Subaru Impreza on a dolly, veered into the median and struck a windrow of dirt near the shoulder. Both vehicles overturned and became separated.
Galloway, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the Toyota. He was transported to Spearfish Monument Health Hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
The South Dakota Highway Patrol continues to investigate the crash.
