The 18-year-old man from Dodge Center, Minn., who died in a one-car crash Friday in Dodge County was identified Saturday by the Minnesota State Patrol.
Logan M. Maas died at the scene after being thrown from a Ford Taurus as it ran off 275th Avenue north of County Road 5 and rolled into a ditch around 4:15 p.m. He was not wearing a seat belt.
Maas was a senior at Triton High school and a volunteer firefighter for the Dodge City Fire Department alongside his father. The department has set up a GoFundMe page in his honor to help with the family's funeral expenses. It had raised $9,400 by late Saturday night.
Identities and conditions of the vehicle's driver and two other passengers have not been released.
The driver, a 17-year-old West Concord girl who was wearing a seat belt, was taken to Mayo Clinic Hospital in Rochester with two other passengers, West Concord girls ages 15 and 17. Neither passenger was wearing a seat belt, and both were ejected from the vehicle, according to the State Patrol.
The State Patrol said alcohol does not appear to have been a factor in the crash.
