Jack Gumm has been identified by investigators as the passenger in a Honda that was involved in the crash on July 13 in the area of Old Yates Ford Road and Henderson Road and died at the hospital on Sunday.

At around 10 a.m. on Saturday, officers were called to investigate a crash involving a 2003 Honda Accord and 2019 Volkswagen Atlas that resulted in Gumm's death and sent two others to the hospital with less severe injuries..

According to investigators, detectives believe the driver of the Honda lost control of the vehicle while traveling on westbound Old Yates Ford Road.

The driver began to spin, for unknown reasons, they said, crossed over the double yellow line and was struck on the passenger side by the Volkswagen traveling in the opposite direction.

Alcohol does not appear to be a factor, officials said, and speed is still under investigation.
