 • Humboldt County Fatal.

Two people were killed Friday evening as the result of a head on collision six miles north of Humboldt on Highway 169.The accident brought injuries to a Webster County jailer and two inmates who were passengers in his car. The Iowa State Patrol identified the two fatally injured as 75 year old Jimmie Dean Faltinson of Rutland and 20 year old Kathrine Kofoot of Bode. Humboldt County authorities received a 911 call of a southbound vehicle in the northbound lane of U.S. Highway 169. A 1990 Oldsmobile Delta 88 driven by Faltinson was traveling south in the northbound lane of traffic when it collided head on with a northbound 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier driven by Kofoot. A 2005 Ford Crown Victoria driven by 39 year old Paul Keller of Manson was behind the Kofoot car swerved to avoid a collision with the two other cars.The Keller car ended up striking the rear of the Kofoot car. Both Faltinson and Kofoot were pronounced dead at the accident scene.  Keller and the two inmates were taken to the Humboldt County Hospital for treatment of the injuries. Keller was transporting the inmates to the Kossuth County Jail in Algona due to the renovation work at the Webster County Law Enforcement Center in Fort Dodge. The accident remains under investigation.
