WINTHROP, Wash. A man killed in a collision on Highway 20 near Winthrop has been identified as Seattle musical director and conductor George Shangrow.

The Wenatchee World reports he was on his way Saturday to deliver a lecture at the Methow Valley Chamber Music Festival when his car collided with a car driven by a 16-year-old. The teen suffered a broken collarbone and ankle in the accident.
