A Twin Cities man has died from injuries he suffered in a November crash in southeastern South Dakota, authorities said Monday.

John A. Warborg, 46, of Coon Rapids, was hurt in a crash on Nov. 21 near Montrose and died on Dec. 30 while in hospice care in Brooklyn Park, according to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office.

Warborg was driving his car west on Hwy. 38 late in the afternoon when he crossed the centerline and hit an eastbound Ford Transit utility vehicle, according to the Highway Patrol.

The patrol said Warborg wasn't wearing a seat belt. Before he died, Warborg was suspected of driving with a suspended license and reckless driving, said Highway Patrol spokesman Tony Mangan.

The other driver and a 3-year-old boy with him survived their injuries, the patrol said.
