Minnesota Mom, 26, Dies In Head-On Crash

ISANTI COUNTY, MN — A 26-year-old mother of one was killed Tuesday in a head-on crash north of the Twin Cities metro area. On March 19, Isanti County dispatch received a 911 call reporting a two-car crash on County Road 8 in Stanford Township.

Upon arrival, Isanti County deputies and fire crews found one driver, Kelsie Mae Timm of Zimmerman, dead at the scene.

The driver of the other vehicle was identified as 22-year-old Matthew John Foss of Hampton. Foss was taken to Mercy Hospital for evaluation. He was later released.

Authorities say that the preliminary investigation shows Timm was driving eastbound on County Road 8, crossed the center line, and hit the westbound vehicle driven by Foss head-on.

According to a GoFundMe page established for funeral expenses, Timm leaves behind a 4-year-old daughter.

"Kelsie loved spending time with her daughter whether it was going to the park, playing 'make over' or drawing pictures together, it didn't matter as long as they were together. Kelsie was very artistic and loved to draw," the page reads.

"Her personality was one of a kind and her smile could brighten up a room. Kelsie comes from a loving family that will miss her dearly. Kelsie was also a donor, but unfortunately, she was not able to donate due to the severity of the accident. The family would appreciate any donations to help cover the cost of her burial, any remaining funds will go into an account for her daughter Ella."

The crash remains under investigation.
