The South Dakota Highway Patrol reports three people died in separate crashes this past weekend.

One person died Friday night three-miles south of Cheyenne Crossing. A side-by-side was towing an inoperable side-by-side. There were two people in each vehicle. The vehicles went off the roadway on a curve, struck a tree, then rolled over down an embankment. The man behind the wheel of the side-by-side being towed was killed in the crash. The other three were injured.

One person died Saturday evening in a single motorcycle crash two-miles west of Kimball.
