Kelly Polson Obituary, Death Cause – On a fateful Friday evening, a sad accident involving two vehicles took place in Guthrie County. As a result of the collision, one person tragically lost their life, and another suffered severe injuries. According to the preliminary report filed by the Iowa State Patrol, the event in question took place on Highway 44 close to Koala Avenue at approximately 9:51 p.m. The victim, who has been identified as Kelly Jo Polson and hails from Audubon, was unfortunately unable to survive the accident and was pronounced dead at the scene of the incident. Another person who was involved in the crash, Andrew Leonard Knudsen, 54, from Sumter, South Carolina, had serious injuries and had to be rushed to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines via Life Flight. Knudsen lives in Sumter.
Investigations are still being conducted to determine the specifics of what led up to this unfortunate event. Kelly Polson was reportedly driving a 2011 Ford Focus in the direction of westbound traffic on Highway 44 when the collision occurred. On the same length of road, at the same time, Andrew Knudsen was driving a 2023 Chevrolet Malibu in the direction of eastbound traffic. Tragically, the tragedy occurred as a consequence of Polson’s vehicle crossing the center line, which led to a devastating head-on collision with Knudsen’s Malibu.
Both drivers were killed in the crash. As the investigation continues, our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of those who were impacted by this tragic event. These kinds of occurrences serve as a jarring reminder of how important it is to drive in a safe and cautious manner. As Andrew Leonard Knudsen goes through medical treatment, the community expresses their condolences for the loss of Kelly Jo Polson and their expectations that he will make a full recovery.
