Waseca man killed when stolen vehicle rolls
Authorities say a Waseca man was killed early Friday when the stolen SUV he was driving rolled over.
Steele County Sheriff Don Gudmundson says 22-year-old Alexander Perry Berg was driving a stolen Isuzu SUV on County Road 12 northwest of Owatonna. It left the road, hit an incline and went airborne for 120 feet. He was ejected when the car overturned.
A passing motorist reported the crash around 4:50 a.m.
Berg was pronounced dead at the scene.
The SUV was reported stolen to Faribault police later Friday morning at 7:30 a.m.
The sheriff says it's not known yet if alcohol or drugs were a factor.
