JMU PLAYER DIES IN CRASH

One of the captains of the James Madison football team died early Saturday in a one-car crash in Harrisonburg.

John Kraus, a senior offensive guard, died following the wreck, which occurred shortly after 1 a.m., Harrisonburg police Sgt. Al McDorman said.

The sergeant said the car carrying Kraus, 24, of Burke, and Carey Griffin, 28, of Springfield, ran off Chicago Avenue after the driver lost control. The car struck a tree and three parked vehicles. Both Kraus and Griffin were thrown from the vehicle. Griffin was in critical condition Saturday night at the University of Virginia Medical Center.
