Fatal Motor Vehicle Accident in Huron Claims Life of Pickup Driver

Posted on Nov 26, 2011

A fatal motor vehicle accident occurred on Thursday, October 27, 2011, in Huron, South Dakota, when a pickup truck pulling a trailer, driven by Richard Anno Boomsma, 81, of Huron, crashed into a house in the 100 block of Fourth Street Northeast. According to Cory Borg, Public Information Officer, the pickup truck was traveling east on Highway 14, and at approximately 6:14 a.m. the vehicle crossed the westbound lane of traffic, crashing into the house. Sadly, Boomsma was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to Borg, while it is believed that medical reasons were the cause of this motor vehicle crash, alcohol was not a factor. Additionally, Boomsma was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident.

Thankfully, the house was not occupied at the time the collision occurred.

The accident is currently under investigation by the Huron Police Department and the South Dakota Highway Patrol.

We extend our deepest condolences and thoughts of sympathy to the family of Richard Anno Boomsma.
