BELL COUNTY (March 18, 2010)—Authorities Thursday identified the victims of a grinding collision between an SUV and a passenger car on FM 1670 in Bell County as Marissa Lynn Timm, 17, of Salado, Jordon Lewallen, 7, of Salado and Sarah Ann Foster, 18, of Salado.
Keith Lynn Lewallen, 46, of Salado was injured and remained at Scott & White Hospital in Thursday, but information about his condition wasn’t immediately available.
Timm and Jordan Lewallen died at the scene of the accident late Wednesday afternoon.
Foster died just before 8 p.m. Wednesday at Scott & White.
Word of the deaths left residents of Salado stunned.
Foster worked at Salado’s Brookshire Brothers grocery store, and coworkers said Thursday they were shocked by news of her death.
"I couldn't believe it, I still can't believe it, it's unreal," Jason Tolbert said.
"She was a doll, she was very lighthearted, good spirited, always had a smile on her face--she was part of the Brookshire family, said Cynthia Apichino, another coworker.
"We are all very heavy hearted right now," she said.
Authorities say the Hyundai sedan in which Timm and Foster were riding was northbound on FM 1670 near Amity Road south of Belton when the driver lost control of the car, which veered into the oncoming lane and collided with the southbound SUV.
Foster was reportedly at the wheel.
The Lewallens were riding in the SUV.

This is sickening. This guy is a friend of mine and he is a very good man and father alike. I just was notified by another friend of this occurance. You see he and I were relocating on the same day years ago. He left a voicemail with his phone number and it cuttoff and this was before the internet. We lost touch and I recently connected with a mutual acqaintance. She said only "he has had a tough year". I then google him and find this and almost throw up. Then I read through these comments and get a bit put off by the lack of sympathy and ignorance of some. This is one of the worst things that culd happen to a husband/fathe in their lives,so try and have a little tact next time. These are good people with great hearts. God Bless you and yours Lewy!
Her Birthday is near,and it will be 3 months and 15 days on her Birthday june 15 Next week,and we are missing her and still can't believe she is gone,No therapy will take away our feelings of loss it will help but not take away our desires of wanting her home and wishing this never happened,and NO it wasn't meant to be this had nothing to do with GOD,meaning god didn't take them,and we still wonder now if there was a Silver car,what is the mystery behind this tragedy?what really happened? some things happen for reasons,but not this sudden shock,NOT this sudden wreck,Not this horrible unplanned crash,when an officer comes to your door 2 hours later and tells us she is gone,and we couldn't see her leaves an empty pain in your heart forever,this loss is so painful at times we are trying so hard to be strong, BUT it is so hard,the dreams we have of her being home then waking up just to see she is really gone leaves us with tears,and aches in our hearts,visions of years ahead with out her.
I am just amazed at how something like this happens and all people can do is be mean to each other. This is not the time nor the place to be rude. Take your moms advice....If you dont have anthing nice to say then dont say anything at all.
