LISBON, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – A 60 year-old Sargent County employee is dead after he was struck by a vehicle early Tuesday morning.

The North Dakota Highway Patrol reports that a 2002 Honda Odyssey van driven by Sharilyn Summers, 54, of Britton SD was traveling north on Sargent County Road 10 to Gwinner. The van came upon a parked Sargent County Road Department pickup facing south in the northbound lane. It was not immediately apparent that the GMC was parked in Summers’ lane and she took evasive maneuvers to avoid hitting the vehicle.

Members of the Sargent County Road Department were placing warning signs on the shoulder of the road and were not in the pickup. The van struck the front driver side tire of the GMC pickup and later struck a 60 year-old employee.

The man was transported to the Lisbon Medical Center where he died from his injuries. Summers was not injured in the crash. The incident remains under investigation.
