Authorities have identified the two people killed in a head-on collision in northern Iowa.

According to an Iowa State Patrol crash report, a Ford Edge driven by 31-year-old Tevin Williams, of Paris, Texas, was traveling northbound on a Hardin County road Monday afternoon when it collided head-on with a southbound Isuzu NQR truck driven by 74-year-old Steven Kramer, of Waterloo. The drivers of both vehicles were pronounced dead.

According to the ISP, Williams was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. The crash remains under investigation.

According to the latest data from the Iowa Department of Transportation, 221 people have died so far this year on Iowa roads. That number is 42 fewer than at the same point in 2023. Over the last five years, an average of 350 people have been killed in statewide crashes annually.
