In the wake of Sunday's murder investigation at the Blue Mounds State Park, the area lost another young life in a car accident early Wednesday morning.
Adrian High School senior Casey Egan died from injuries sustained in the accident, which was reported at 4:53 a.m. Wednesday.
Reports were sketchy as of press time, but Egan, son of Bob and Susan Egan, Adrian, was headed eastbound on Interstate 90 when the accident occurred in Nobles County.
He was reportedly on his way home from Luverne, where he had spent time with friends and family of murder victim Carrie Nelson.
Egan would have graduated Friday, June 1, from Adrian High School. He had planned to attend technical school for computer networking.
The Minnesota Highway Patrol is investigating the accident.
Totzke Funeral Home, Slayton, is in charge of arrangements.
