Last Tuesday, three friends decided to take a fishing trip south of Cottage Grove. Their car crashed into a commercial truck, killing Matthew Knee and Derek Kovack. The third teen, Marshal Lehman, survived that crash. Lehman says he's moving forward...
Family and friends packed Cottage Grove High School on Wednesday night to remember Matthew Knee, a recent graduate killed in an auto accident last week along with Derek Kovack.
Matthew Knee had considered military service, Derek Kovack had a passion for cooking. A fishing trip on Tuesday ended in tragedy with both young men dead and their friend in the hospital.
The Cottage Grove High School community is mourning the loss of two recent graduates killed in a car crash and hoping a third recent grad makes a full recovery from his injuries.
Two people died and a third person was seriously injured in a crash on London Road along Cottage Grove lake between Shortridge Hill Road and Williams Creek Loop.
