RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) - A Florida man died early Wednesday morning after 12:30 a.m. when his truck collided with another semi in a two-vehicle crash.

The South Dakota Highway Patrol says it happened 34 miles northwest of Philip, SD.

Troopers say the male driver of a 2001 Freightliner was parked in the lane with its emergency flasher near mile marker 128 on SD Highway 34 in Haakon County, SD.

The driver of a 1996 Freightliner, heading in the same direction, struck the back of the parked semi, resulting in death.

The driver of the 2001 Freightliner was moving around the cab during the collision and suffered serious, non-life-threatening injuries.

A passenger was outside of the vehicle at the time and did not get hurt.

The names of those involved have not been released until family members have been notified.

The crash remains under investigation.

The Highway Patrol is an agency of the South Dakota Department of Public Safety.
