Sophomore dies in Illinois car crash

Aug. 26, 2008 -- 7:20 p.m.

Engineering sophomore Michael Sheahan was killed in a car accident Monday evening.

Sheahan, 20, who is from Madison, Wisc., died when his car collided with a dump truck in Caledonia, Ill.

Frank Pellicone, the dean of Harrison College House - where Sheahan would have lived this fall - said a memorial service on campus will be organized depending on the wishes of Sheahan's friends and family.

"It's a sad way to start the first semester," Pellicone said. "We will wait for more information and do whatever is appropriate."
