. (startribune.com) Going one way in eastern Stearns County [Minnesota ] on Sunday night was a teenage Christian rock singer driving his 1990 Toyota Corolla home from work at Cub Foods. Coming the other was a 2006 Hummer H2 driven by a 29-year-old man with a preliminary blood-alcohol content of 0.346 percent, more than four times the legal limit for driving in Minnesota, according to a criminal complaint against the H2's driver.

When they collided about 10:30 p.m. on County Road 17 east of Opole, Minn., the Toyota was "split in half" and flattened, killing 19-year-old Ryan DeZurik of Holdingford, Minn., Stearns County Chief Deputy Bruce Bechtold said. more

[He was the former vocalist of Against the Tides/Oath by Blood according to his Myspace where sadly one of his friends wrote Sunday early morning just hours before the crash, "Yeah, since it's Saturday there's pretty much only drunk people everywhere."] - Blabbermouth report
