In this incident, one passenger with recent medical complications experienced a dangerous head impact, underscoring how vulnerable vehicle occupants can be—even with safety restraints in place.
Passenger injuries are common in multi-vehicle accidents across Indiana, particularly at residential intersections where visibility can be limited and drivers may underestimate approaching traffic.
