ALCESTER, SD : Hundreds attend vigil for victim of Alcester crash on Wednesday, July 26, 2017

Hundreds of people gathered at a vigil to show support for the family of a woman who was one of two people killed when a car struck a group of people outside a care center in southeast South Dakota.

Friends say 31-year-old Jenna Benzel had started working as an activities assistant at the Alcester Care and Rehab Center only days before she was killed in a crash that also injured six others.

Authorities say an elderly woman pulled into the center’s driveway and unintentionally stepped on the gas pedal. The car hit the people and slammed into the building.

The Argus Leader says those who spoke at the vigil in Harrisburg Tuesday evening said Benzel had a positive spirit. She leaves behind a husband and three children.

The second person who died in the crash has not been identified.
