ALCESTER, S.D. KELO AM) A third person has died from injuries suffered in Monday's fatal crash into a nursing home in Alcester, South Dakota.

95-year-old Pearl "Tex" Sowell was a resident at the Alcester Care and Rehab Center.

The other dead are nursing home resident, Marcene Gabel, 79, and Center Activities Coordinator, Jenna Benzel, 31.

An eldery woman drove into a group of residents and employees after she, apparently, stepped on the gas when she meant to step on the brakes.  

Five others were injured, including the driver.

The South Dakota Highway Patrol is the lead investigator.
