Not so good news for the families. Ours was better news than the others involved.
Well made vehicle. Protected her as it should have.
She's ok. Great photo to see. Shaken up, but able to walk away.On Saturday approx 248 LaPorte County time, my niece was involved in a Head On Collision. Lindsey was in Francesville, coming home from PURDUE.
Lindsey had to slow down because a vehicle was turn to the east in front of her. He too was heading north on 421. Lindsey told us that there was a car in the southbound lane, stopped to also turn to the east. He had to wait because of on coming traffic (Lindsey). As he was waiting his turn, behind him a hanicap accesible van driven by a woman from her wheelchair, didn't see the stopped car. At the last minute she swerved into oncoming traffic and hit Lindsey head on.
Fortunatly both of the airbags in Lindsey's car went off and I feel this is what saved her. Unfortunatly the woman drivers vehicle wasn't equipped with air bags, and she passed away, before being air lifted to any hospital.
Lindsey was not taken to the hospital, but Norm and Lori insisted that she go and they took her to Porter Memorial to be checked out. She has minor scratches, burns from the airbags, and brusing. Her left foot is hurting her, and the dr was concerned with the bump on the top. Her chest xray came back fine.
Lindsey's Guardian Angel was with her on Saturday afternoon. She wasn't ready to take Lindsey from us and she protected her, thanks OMA.
Norman, Lori, Leah, Ryan (Leah's Boyfriend) and Lauren all headed to Francesville. Mom and Dad also headed to Francesville. I left my house to be told not to come, but to meet them at their house. So once I was in Knox, I had lunch. Then found out that they were going to go to the hospital. So my plan was to meet them there, but since I had been called off once before, I called to make sure that is really where they were going. I felt like I was just driving in a big circle and not getting anywhere. I too needed to see Pea, I just couldn't get to her.
I had to make sure that I called my Dad. He is a worrier, and I wanted to make sure he was ok...... And he is, he is the one that really keeps us together. Mom was good, she was with the family as they were taking our Lindsey to the hospital.
I love them all as if they were my own.
Our news spread like wildfire. Thanks to everyone for their calls of support and well wishes. Everything means so much to the family.
Lori and Norman, even though your world crumbled for a minute, you never let her see how afraid you really were! Great Job, being strong parents.
