ROCHESTER, Minn.—A Century Hi gh School student was killed, apparently instantly, in a three-vehicle northeast of the city. First-responders pulled Davin Tukua, 16, from the wreckage, but there no response to resuscitation attempts. The wo other drivers suffered minor injuries. The accident was about 2:30 p.m. at North Broadway and Woodridge Lane. Olmsted County deputies said that Tukua was driving south on Broadway when he went over the center line and collided with an oncoming vehicle. The third vehicle crashed into the wreckage. Word about what happened soared quickly among Century students in the middle of homecoming weekend and preparing for a post-football game dance. With homecoming plans were so far advanced, Schools Superintendent Kent Pekel decided to let the events proceed as planned. Too much was in place involving so many students that canceling events was not possible, he said. The school, on Rochster’s east side, has 1,600 students.
