SIOUX FALLS A Sioux Falls man who died in a collision with a semi on June 17 in Sioux Falls has been identified by authorities.
Preliminary crash information indicates Tracey Scott Nuss, 59, the driver of a 2008 Lexus IS250, was traveling northbound on Interstate 29 in a construction zone near mile marker 79. At the same time, a 2024 Freightliner Cascadia with double trailers driven by James Allen Crofutt, 57, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, was traveling the same direction in the next lane. The trailer wheels struck a concrete barrier, sending the second trailer airborne which then tipped over, landing on the Lexus. Both vehicles came to rest in the east ditch.
