I just heard two photographers were killed in an auto accident after the Monday race at Oskaloosa. Does anyone know who they are? I was a photog for over a decade and know many of them, just concerned is the only reason I'm asking.

From ottumwacourier.com:
The Iowa State Patrol reports the crash took place at 1:14 a.m. on Highway 63 at exit 40. The collision involved a semi driven by Steven Searls, 58, of Auburndale, Fla. and a Pontiac Sunfire driven by Robert Lindsey, 50, of O'Fallon, Mo.
The report says the truck struck the car from behind as both were travelling eastbound on Highway 63. The car was going slowly, according to investigators, due to mechanical problems.
Two of Lindsey's passengers were killed. Tony Penberthy, 47, of St. Louis and Charles "Billy" Haffer Jr., 44, of St. Peters, Mo., both died. Lindsey was injured and taken to Ottumwa Regional Health Center.
Haffer took photographs at several race tracks in the region.
