Peru State football player killed in crash

PERU, Neb. (AP) — A Peru State College football player has died from injuries he sustained in a weekend car crash.

A college spokesman says Justin Haystrand was airlifted to a hospital following Sunday’s wreck. Spokesman Jason Hogue says Haystrand was pronounced dead on Monday.

Details about the crash were not immediately available.

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.

Haystrand scored five touchdowns last season.
