Fatal Crash on Hampton's East Side Saturday Morning

March 24, 2007

William Lovin, 77, of Hampton, died on Saturday morning, March 24, 2007, as a result of a two-vehicle head-on crash in heavy fog on the east side of Hampton. The Iowa State Patrol said the crash occurred at 6:09 a.m., and it was on the S-curves on Highway 3, near the Franklin General Hospital.

An accident report said Lovin was westbound on Highway 3 in a 1989 Chevrolet pickup. Valerie Krumm, 22, of Ames, was eastbound in a 2005 Jeep. The report said Lovin was driving westbound in the eastbound lane when the vehicles struck. A dense fog advisory was in effect at the time.

Krumm, who was wearing a seatbelt, was taken to Franklin General by ambulance with injuries. The patrol's report said wearing a seat belt saved her life. The report said Lovin was not wearing a seat belt. He, too, was taken to the Franklin General Hospital.

The Franklin County Sheriff's Department and Hampton Police Department assisted at the scene.
