Elderly man dies in west Sioux Falls crash, police say
An elderly man is dead, following a two-vehicle crash the evening of June 27 in west Sioux Falls. The Sioux Falls Police Department is investigating whether a lack of seatbelt use may have contributed to the death, according to a press release from the department. Law enforcement responded to the scene at 5:08 p.m., when an officer on routine patrol witnessed the crash, the release states. A man, 71, driving a Chevy Silverado, entered Madison Street from a private drive on the south side of the road, the release states. He was the only occupant. The deceased man, 76, was one of three people in a Honda CRV, headed eastbound on Madison Street. The driver was a woman, 53, and another female, 76, rode passenger in the front seat. The victim was in the back seat, passenger side, at the time of the crash, the release states. The fronts of both vehicles collided. The witnessing officer "immediately rendered aid to involved parties, but despite efforts by first responders and medical professionals," the man later died at an area hospital, the release states. "All other involved parties are Sioux Falls residents and sustained varying degrees of non-life threatening injuries," the department stated. Speed and impairment "do not appear to be factors," the release read. The name of the deceased has not been released, pending notification of family. The investigation is ongoing.

Fire risk recall affects 60,000 vehicles from US car company
President Donald Trump gave the U.S. auto industry the biggest government-sponsored gift it has received since the 2008 auto bailouts. His 25% tariffs on auto imports give Stellantis, Ford, and General Motors (GM) - collectively known as the U.S. Big 3 - a leg up on the competition. U.S. car buyers have flocked to dealerships this year, hoping to beat the tariffs before they take effect and take advantage of the incentives dealers have pushed to move inventory. Related: General Motors makes $4 billion tariff move The tariffs are designed to give domestic producers an advantage over foreign automakers, who must import more of their vehicles. But General Motors and Stellantis import a lot more of their vehicles than one might think. Only 52% of the 2.7 million vehicles GM sold globally last year were "made in the USA." Of the Big 3, GM isn't even ahead of Stellantis (57%), a multinational conglomerate based in Europe, in terms of domestic production. Ford leads the way, with 77% of the cars it sells originating from the States. The other issue American car companies face is that Americans love their foreign cars, which are increasingly made in the U.S. Japan exports about $41 billion of cars to the U.S. annually. Toyota sold over 2.3 million vehicles in the U.S. last year, a 3.7% year-over-year increase. Between April 2024 and March 2025, the company built 1.96 million units in the U.S., according to Statista. So a company like GM has to go above and beyond to win back customers. But its latest recall suggests it still has a lot of work to do. The Chevy Silverado is General Motors' best-selling full-size pickup truck, selling more than 550,000 last year, according to GM Authority. It was the second most popular full-size pickup behind the F-150, which sold nearly 760,000 vehicles last year. However, sales have flattened in recent years, and the latest news will not help the brand regain its previous success. On Thursday, GM announced that it has recalled 62,468 Chevrolet Silverado models in 4500 HD, 5500 HD, and 6500 HD. GM initiated the recall due to a brake pressure sensor assembly that could leak brake fluid into the brake pressure switch, causing a short circuit, which could overheat the circuit and cause a fire. Related: Car buyers should shop these brands for the best tariff deal Most impacted vehicles are 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 5500 HD trucks made between January 20, 2023, and March 19, 2024. General Motors said about 10,097 of them run the risk of malfunctioning, USA Today reported, citing manufacturing records. GM says it will replace the brake pressure switch wire harness for free. It notified dealers of the issue on June 12 and will mail letters to owners by July 28. Until repairs can be completed, GM advises owners to park their Silverados outside and away from buildings. General Motors (GM) said earlier this year that auto tariffs will wipe out between $4 billion and $5 billion in EBITDA this year. But GM CEO Mary Barra still backed the taxes, saying, "For decades now, it has not been a level playing field for us automakers globally, with either tariffs or non-tariff trade barriers. So I think tariffs is one tool that the administration can use to level the playing field." GM says it plans to invest $4 billion to move its Mexico production to three plants in the U.S., including the recently closed Orion Assembly plant in its hometown of Detroit. "We believe the future of transportation will be driven by American innovation and manufacturing expertise," Barra said in a statement. "Today's announcement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to build vehicles in the U.S. and to support American jobs. We're focused on giving customers choice and offering a broad range of vehicles they love." According to The Detroit News, GM will build full-size SUVs and light-duty pickups at the Orion plant, which closed in 2023.

2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Review, Pricing, and Specs
Overview No matter what kind of work or play you have in mind, the half-ton Chevy Silverado 1500 can handle it. Engine options include a turbocharged four-cylinder, a turbo-diesel six, and a pair of gas V-8s, and then there are the usual cab and box configuration choices. The trim lineup spans from the basics up to the High Country's everything-included approach, although the materials and design don't quite match the best of the Ram 1500's lineup or even the fanciest F-150. Other options in the vast Silverado lineup include the off-road-hungry Silverado 1500 ZR2, the Silverado EV, and the Silverado HD, all of which are reviewed separately. What's New for 2026? There are just a handful of changes to the Silverado for this year. The previous Realtree Special Edition becomes the dealer-installed Realtree Appearance Package, and availability of the hunting brand tie-in expands to more configurations. There are some changes to the color palette, too: Iridescent Pearl Tricoat and Slate Gray Metallic make way for White Sands and Polar White Tricoat. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is expected to start around $38,000 and go up to $65,000 depending on the trim and options. Work Truck $38,000 (est) Custom $45,000 (est) LT $49,000 (est) RST $53,000 (est) Custom Trail Boss $53,000 (est) LT Trail Boss $60,000 (est) LTZ $60,000 (est) High Country $65,000 (est) 0 $10k $20k $30k $40k $50k $60k $70k $80k $90k $100k While the base-level Work Truck and Custom trims are well-suited for tradespeople and folks on a tighter budget, the LT model is where the fancier interior comes into play; we think it's the one to get. We'd also configure our Silverado with the crew cab and standard-length bed for maximum cargo and passenger space. We'd choose the 5.3-liter V-8 over the optional diesel engine because it's cheaper and quicker. Unlike the standard turbo-four, the V-8 also lets us select the Z71 Off-Road package with a host of upgraded hardware that makes playing in the dirt and mud easier and more fun. Engine, Transmission, and Performance A range of engines—including a turbocharged four-cylinder, a pair of V-8s, and a Duramax diesel 3.0-liter inline-six—means there's a Silverado 1500 powertrain for any job or adventure. The 6.2-liter V-8 makes 420 horsepower while the smaller 5.3-liter makes 355 horsepower. The turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder makes 310 horsepower, and the diesel makes 277. Every version of the Silverado we've driven felt smaller than its size suggests. The truck's handling is surprisingly agile, and the brake pedal provides firm and reassuring feedback. Those looking for a more rugged half-ton Silverado will appreciate the Trail Boss models. They feature a 2.0-inch lift, gnarly tires, and other upgrades that make taking the path less traveled easier and more entertaining. The ZR2 is the most serious off-roader, and we review it separately. 0–60-MPH Times With the larger 6.2-liter V-8, the Silverado High Country we tested hit 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds. For comparison, the smaller 355-hp 5.3-liter needed 6.1 seconds. The diesel-powered Silverado we tested had the slowest acceleration of the bunch, but we were impressed by the engine's smooth and quiet operation. View Photos Chevrolet Towing and Payload Capacity With a max towing capacity of 13,300 pounds, the half-ton Silverado is a seriously capable hauler. It beats the Ram 1500's max-tow rating by 550 pounds but trails the F-150's by 700. Chevy's top tow rating is accessible with the 6.2-liter V-8, but the 5.3-liter version can still handle as much as 11,500 pounds. Models with the turbocharged four-cylinder can tow up to 9,500 pounds. The Chevy pickup's powertrains matter less when it comes to payload, which ranges from 1,870 to 2,280 pounds. Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG The EPA hasn't released any fuel economy information for the 2026 Silverado 1500 yet, but the 2025 model earned combined ratings ranging from a high of 26 mpg with the diesel and rear-wheel drive down to 15 mpg for models equipped with four-wheel drive, the 6.2-liter V-8, and chunky off-road tires. On our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, we saw 26 mpg with the four-wheel-drive diesel, 21 mpg with the 5.3-liter, 19 mpg with the 6.2-liter, and just 18 mpg with a four-wheel-drive turbo four. For more information about the Silverado 1500's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. Interior, Comfort, and Cargo From the stripped-down Work Truck model to the decked-out High Country, the Silverado can be configured in a multitude of ways. Base models offer nothing but the essentials, including manually adjustable front seats, manual locks and windows, and vinyl seats. However, starting on the LT trim, the cabin is significantly snazzier thanks to a more handsome dashboard design with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a huge center touchscreen. The High Country's interior looks particularly pretty with its leather upholstery and open-pore wood trim. While the crew cab has an enormous rear seat with generous headroom, we found the cushions back there to be uncomfortable. Still, this is a practical hauler, featuring clever storage cubbies spread throughout the cabin. While the Chevy lacks the carbon-fiber-reinforced cargo bed that's offered on the half-ton Sierra, it's now available with a similar multifunction tailgate, dubbed Multi-Flex. Plus, the Chevy's range of different bed lengths will undoubtedly satisfy traditionalists. View Photos Chevrolet Infotainment and Connectivity Every Silverado 1500 is equipped with a touchscreen infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a mobile hotspot. The physical knobs and buttons make interacting with the system painless, and we appreciated the screen's prompt responses to our touch inputs. The LT trim and up has a horizontal 13.4-inch touchscreen with enhanced features such as a Google-powered voice assistant, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and available Amazon Alexa integration. Safety and Driver-Assistance Features Every Silverado comes with an impressive list of standard driver-assistance technology, and it can be fitted with a host of towing assists that make pulling and hooking up a trailer easier. The top-tier High Country can even be equipped with Super Cruise, GM's hands-free-driving technology that Chevy says even works while pulling a trailer. For more information about the Silverado's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include: Standard forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking Standard blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert Standard lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist Warranty and Maintenance Coverage Chevy covers the half-ton Silverado with a competitive warranty that includes one complimentary scheduled maintenance visit. That's not as good as the Toyota Tundra, which one-ups Chevy with two years or 25,000 miles of complimentary maintenance. Otherwise, Toyota's coverage is identical to Chevrolet's. Limited warranty covers three years or 36,000 miles Powertrain warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles Complimentary maintenance is covered for the first visit Specifications Specifications 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 RST 4WD Crew Cab 6.2L* Vehicle Type: front-engine, rear-/4-wheel-drive, 5-passenger, 4-door pickup PRICE Base/As Tested: $52,735/$60,180 ENGINE pushrod 16-valve V-8, aluminum block and heads, direct fuel injection Displacement: 376 in3, 6162 cm3 Power: 420 hp @ 5600 rpm Torque: 460 lb-ft @ 4100 rpm TRANSMISSION 10-speed automatic CHASSIS Suspension, F/R: control arms/live axle Brakes, F/R: 13.0-in vented disc/13.6-in vented disc Tires: General Grabber HTS 60 275/60R-20 115S M+S TPC Spec 3111 MS DIMENSIONS Wheelbase: 147.4 in Length: 231.7 in Width: 81.2 in Height: 75.5 in Passenger Volume: 139 ft3 Curb Weight: 5421 lb C/D TEST RESULTS 60 mph: 5.4 sec 100 mph: 14.0 sec 1/4-Mile: 14.0 sec @ 100 mph Results above omit 1-ft rollout of 0.3 sec.

Tip leads to arrest of suspect in fatal pedestrian hit and run near Wetaskiwin: RCMP
Wetaskiwin RCMP has arrested a suspect in connection with a fatal hit and run of a 50-year-old woman last month. In a news release Thursday, police said a tip from the public helped identify a potential suspect involved in the crime. The incident occurred on May 1, when RCMP responded to a report of a fatal pedestrian hit and run around 11:30 p.m. on Highway 13, about three kilometres west of Wetaskiwin, Alta. The deceased was confirmed to be a 50-year-old woman from the Montana First Nation, about 110 kilometres south of Edmonton. A week after the incident, RCMP released an image of a white Chevy Silverado that it said was suspected to have been involved in the crime and asked for public assistance in locating the vehicle. Police said the photo of the truck resulted in a tip that allowed them to arrest a suspect on May 29. In the new release, RCMP said the suspect has been charged with failure to stop after accident resulting in death and has been released with a court date set for Aug. 5.
