A Prior Lake man died when a vehicle traveling north on County Road 18 crossed over the median and hit his vehicle head-on last Thursday at about 9:15 p.m.

Mark Steven Adams, 46, died at the scene. He was traveling southbound on County Road 18 and was near Muhlenhardt Road when his vehicle was struck by a northbound vehicle driven by Vladimir Kulichenko, 21, of Shakopee, according to Shakopee police.
