Delaware County Sheriff’s officials say they are still investigating the crash May 18 that claimed the life of 77 year old Carol Lowell of Delhi.

Authorities say Lowell was driving north on State Highway 10 in Delhi at around 9:30 a.m. when her car crossed into the oncoming lane and collided with a LaFever dump truck loaded with gravel driven by 62 year old Paul Jerjens of Walton.

The truck tipped on its side in a ditch and Jerjens was able to get out before it was engulfed in flames.  Lowell was pronounced dead at the scene.

The accident closed a portion of the road for close to five and a half hours.

Deputies say they do not expect to file any charges.
