The baby was identified as Bryer Martinez and three other family members were injured in the accident, according to the South Dakota Highway Patrol.

The accident happened about 9 p.m. on the Allen Road 4 miles north of the intersection with U.S. Highway 18.

Driver Laretha Loray Brown Bull, 40, of Kyle was driving with her three children, ages eight, two and eight months, in a southbound pickup truck. The vehicle hit several ruts in the roadway, causing Brown Bull to lose control of the vehicle. It rolled 1-1/2 times, coming to a rest upside down in the ditch.

Brown Bull and the baby were ejected from the vehicle and trapped underneath.

Bryer Martinez died at the scene. Brown Bull was flown by air ambulance to Rapid City Regional Hospital where she was reported in good condition Wednesday.

The other two children were taken by ground transportation to Rapid City Regional Hospital.

If you don't see your comment, perhaps...

you called someone an idiot, a racist, a dope, a moron, etc. Please, no name-calling or profanity (or veiled profanity -- #$%^&*).
you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
