MINDEN, Neb. (AP) — A former Kearney Catholic High School golf coach who’d been accused of trying to sexually entice a teenager has died in a highway collision.

Authorities say 44-year-old Shawn Dowse, of Kearney, died at the scene Tuesday morning, about two miles west of Hazard on Nebraska Highway 2. Sherman County authorities say Dowse was driving a pickup west when he ran into an eastbound truck. The other driver was taken to a hospital.

Dowse was arrested last week on charges of negligent child abuse, enticement by electronic communication device and contributing to the delinquency of a child. Records in a separately filed case say the mother of a 13-year-old who obtained a protection order against Dowse said he sent inappropriate text messages to the girl.
