Parents in Edina seek answers following son's death in high-speed crash

An Edina, Minnesota family continues to grapple with the sudden and tragic loss of their teenage son. Last month, 18-year-old Finn Cronin was a passenger in a Jeep that was involved in a street racing accident in Eagan, Minnesota, resulting in the deaths of both Finn and the 19-year-old driver, Reed Schultz. Surveillance cameras captured three young drivers racing at speeds exceeding 100 mph on June 14, leading to a devastating crash at the junction of Highway 149 and Highway 55 in Eagan. Finn's parents, Teresa and Chris Cronin, are still trying to come to terms with the events that transpired, describing the experience as overwhelming, life-changing, and heart-wrenching. Despite their profound grief, the Cronin family has been uplifted by the overwhelming support and displays of sympathy from their Edina community, with neighbors adorning their street with blue ribbons in honor of Finn's memory. While the circumstances surrounding Finn's presence in the car remain unclear, his parents remember him as a compassionate artist and thrill-seeker. In the aftermath of the accident, an individual involved in the street race fled the scene but has not faced charges yet. Despite the intense emotions and loss they are dealing with, the Cronin family has chosen to focus on forgiveness and empathy towards all those affected by the tragedy.
