ANGOLA, Ind.-- The Trine University family is mourning the loss of a student-athlete who was killed in a Thursday morning accident in Michigan.
Sean Brady, a sophomore mechanical engineering major from Monroe, Mich., died when the truck he was driving was struck by a semi truck being towed by another semi, according to MonroeNews.com. The newspaper reported Sean, 18, was driving a pickup truck owned by the Monroe County Road Commission. Road commission officials said Sean was an engineering intern for the summer as was his passenger, a 19-year-old man.
