South Dakota AG Releases Statement After Discovering Human Body By Highway After He Thought He Hit A Deer

South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg (R) has released a statement following his Saturday evening highway car crash, which he initially believed involved him hitting a deer-like figure but actually involved him hitting a person, according to authorities.

In the Monday evening statement, Ravnsborg said he had initially declined to comment on the case but decided to release a statement after “rumors and stories,” which he said don’t represent “a full and factual account of what happened,” began to circulate online.
