A Monday afternoon accident northeast of Lytton claimed the life of an Ankeny man. The Iowa State Patrol reports they responded to U.S. Highway 20, east of Granite Avenue, at approximately 4 p.m. Their initial investigation found that two vehicles were driving eastbound on Highway 20. A 2019 Dodge van, driven by Forrest Quintin Fromm of West Des Moines, was behind 83-year-old Arthur Roger Newberry, who was driving a 2011 Ford SUV.
