Officers in Sioux Falls, Sturgis Involved in Vehicle Crashes

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Law officers have been involved in recent crashes on both sides of South Dakota.

Sioux Falls police say a patrol vehicle on Sunday night collided with a van that did stop at a flashing red light. The officer was treated for minor injuries. The 42-year-old woman driving the van was cited for a traffic violation and for having no insurance.

On Friday night, a Meade County sheriff's deputy collided with a motorcycle while making a U-turn to stop another motorcycle that was speeding. The driver of the motorcycle that was hit was taken to a hospital with what authorities said was a serious but not life-threatening injury.

The deputy's name was not released. Authorities are continuing to investigate.
