This year is shaping up to be a deadly one for drivers on South Dakota’s roadways.
The Rapid City Journal reports that there have been 42 motor vehicle fatalities in the state so far in 2018, a 60 percent increase over the same period in 2017.
State officials say a lot of the fatalities have involved people not wearing seat belts. Speed and alcohol also continue to be major factors.
