Kidus Getnet Dies In a Car Accident Sioux Falls SD, Roosevelt High School Student

A 16-year-old Roosevelt High School sophomore is dead and a 15-year-old teen is seriously injured following a major crash Saturday morning connected with a stolen vehicle, according to the Sioux Falls Police Department.

The crash happened shortly after 3 a.m. near the intersection of 26th Street and Bahnson Avenue, SFPD spokesman Sam Clemens said during a police briefing with media Monday morning.

The vehicle, a 2015 Ford Fusion, was headed north on Bahnson Avenue when a witness saw it run a red light and hit a tree on the other side of the intersection before it rolled over, Clemens said.

Clemens said the connection between the two teenagers and the stolen vehicle is unclear, but that speed most likely played a role in the crash. It’s unclear how fast the vehicle was going at the time, but investigators could take four to six weeks to reconstruct what happened.

The passenger, Kidus Dawit Getnet, was pronounced dead at the scene, while the driver, Devante Omar Charo, had critical injuries and was taken to an area hospital.

It’s also unclear if drugs or alcohol played a factor, and unclear if the two boys wore seatbelts. Clemens said both answers will come with time and toxicology reports, depending on what investigators find. It’s also unclear if other vehicles were involved prior to the crash.
