A southern Twin Cities community is mourning after a high school teacher and coach died in a car crash early Sunday afternoon.
The Minnesota State Patrol says 32-year-old Ryan Eiler, of Champlin, died when his vehicle abruptly swerved to the left and hit the cement median barrier on northbound Highway 169 near Highway 62 in Edina around 12:38 pm.
It is unclear what caused the crash, but alcohol is not suspected and Eiler had been wearing a seat belt, according to the state patrol’s report.
Shakopee Public Schools confirmed Eiler had taught at Shakopee High School as a health and physical education teacher since 2021. Last year, he became the assistant coach for the school’s track and field sprint team.
Eiler was an active member of the Minnesota National Guard, according to a statement from the agency. He was a staff sergeant who had served as a radio equipment repairer since September 2014.
“His awards and decorations include the Army Commendation Medal and Army Achievement Medal. The Minnesota National Guard grieves the loss of this Soldier and wishes his family and friends peace and strength during this time of sorrow,” the agency said.
Eiler graduated from both the University of St. Thomas and the University of Minnesota, according to Shakopee Public Schools.
The school district said support staff will be available at the high school throughout the week for students and families.
The Midwest is bracing for severe weather on Monday, including the threat of the excessive rainfall, hail damaging wind gusts and tornadoes.
Missouri, Illinois and Indiana face the greatest risk of severe storms. Scattered large hail, flooding, severe and damaging winds, and strong to intense tornadoes could develop across the region, the National Weather Service said.
“Storms will intensify Monday afternoon and continue into the night, increasing the risk across a heavily populated part of the region,” said Brandon Buckingham, AccuWeather Meteorologist. “The St. Louis area is in the heart of the zone facing the greatest potential for strong, long-track tornadoes.”
The St. Louis metro is under a flood watch, while parts of central Illinois are under a severe storm warning and tornado warning.
The severe weather is forecast to shift eastward on Tuesday, according to AccuWeather, bringing a threat of damaging winds, large hail and tornadoes to parts of Texas and the Ohio Valley.
A pair of tornadoes killed two people in north Texas over the weekend. An EF-2 tornado in Wise County led to one fatality and six injuries and caused significant damage across multiple neighborhoods, according to County Judge J.D. Clark.
A separate tornado in Parker County left one dead, the county sheriff’s office said.
