Former Cedar Rapids Kernels pitcher Yorman Landa died Saturday morning in a car accident involving a tree in his native Venezuela. The Minnesota Twins pitching prospect was 22 years old.

According to the StarTribune, Landa was one of four passengers in a car being driven by his father when the accident occurred. They were “on a dark, winding road during a storm. A tree had fallen across the road, and the car struck it.”

Landa was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The other passengers were not seriously injured.
