NEW YORK (JTA) -- A prominent Michigan rabbi was killed in a car crash Sunday after he made a predawn visit to the grave of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher rebbe who died in 1994.
A leader of the Lubavitch movement in Michigan, Rabbi Yitschak Meir Kagan, 59, was driving to New York's LaGuardia Airport for his flight home when his car collided with a commuter van.
Kagan was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead less than half an hour later, police said.
The van driver was given a summons for speeding, police said.
