McCook County, S.D.- A Canistota, SD woman died Sunday morning in a three-vehicle collision two miles southeast of Salem, SD.

Preliminary crash information indicates Destiny Annmarie Fine, the driver of a 2002 Mazda Protege was traveling westbound on Interstate 90 near mile marker 366 when her vehicle left the roadway and collided into a start of a guardrail, then re-entered the roadway, where a 2005 Dodge Ram driven by Faron L. Scarberry collided with the rear end of the Mazda. A Peterbilt semi driven by Keith Allen Smith then collided with the front of the Mazda.

Fine was airlifted to a Sioux Falls hospital where she was pronounced deceased. Scarberry sustained minor injuries. No injuries were reported for the driver of the Peterbilt. Alcohol is considered to be a factor in the initial collision with the guardrail.
