South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg told a 911 dispatcher "it could be" that he hit a deer when he had actually struck a man with his car, newly released call recordings show.
The audio was released Tuesday, as South Dakota Governor Kristin Noem and Public Safety Secretary Craig Price gave an update on the investigation into Ravnsborg's fatal car crash in September, giving the public access to the audio and transcript of his 911 call, as well as toxicology reports.
In September, local authorities reported that although Ravnsborg initially told authorities he thought he hit a deer with his car, he was actually involved in a car crash that killed 55-year-old pedestrian Joseph Boever.
In the phone call recording and transcript released Tuesday, Ravnsborg identified himself as the state attorney general to the 911 dispatcher. He said he "hit something."

(31,261 posts)I never drive at night without watching what is ahead of me, that makes sense since at night, there is not much to see outside of the beam set by the headlights, that is even more so in a largely rural state like South Dakota.
