Officials: Winona man was texting before crash
Officials say a Winona man killed in a one-vehicle crash last month was texting before he lost control and went into a ditch.
Eighteen-year-old Blake Aaron Eckert was killed in the April 19 crash on Winona County Road 25 between Lewiston and Rollingstone. Two passengers were injured.
The Post-Bulletin of Rochester reported the findings Wednesday.
