MINNEAPOLIS -- A State Patrol investigation determined that the late Olympic and Minnesota hockey coach Herb Brooks fell asleep before his vehicle went off the interstate, killing him last month, according to his son.
The coach of the "Miracle on Ice" U.S. Olympic team that won a gold medal in 1980 was returning from a fund-raiser Aug. 11 in northeastern Minnesota when his minivan went off Interstate 35 outside the Twin Cities.
The State Patrol's report, which has not been released publicly, confirmed Brooks wasn't drinking, speeding, talking on his cell phone or having a health problem before the crash, his son, Dan Brooks, said Monday.
