PERU, Neb. (AP) - A Peru State College football player has died from injuries received in a car crash.
A college spokesman says Justin Haystrand was airlifted to a hospital following Sunday's wreck, south of Nebraska City. Spokesman Jason Hogue says Haystrand was pronounced dead on Monday.
The Otoe County Sheriff's Office says Haystrand was the passenger in a car that collided with a SUV on U.S. 75 around 4:30 Sunday morning.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports the junior from New Port Richey, Florida, was a kinesiology major.
Peru State planned to have a moment of silence before Monday night's basketball game. A candlelight vigil is also scheduled for Tuesday evening on the Peru State campus and a memorial service for Wednesday.
The newspaper says Haystrand scored five touchdowns last season.
