Car Accident Saturday Afternoon

This is Ryan's girlfriend Sarah. On April 4th, Ryan and our friend Chad were in a wreck. Chad did not make it and Ryan was lifelined. Ryan has multiple contusions and fractured his femur in 15 spots. It was the other vehicles fault. He is now off the ventilator and all sedation medicine. The doctor's have told us that he will probably be in rehab for atleast a month but maybe longer. He is very confused due to the contusions and that could take up for 18 months to heal. His parents would prefer him to not have any visitors because of his confusion. It will probably be a while till be will even be having visitors. This will be a long process. This accident was due to another person messing with their cell phone. This is evidence that distracted driving is just like drunk driving. I will try to give updates on his profile whenever I can.

Eesh, I always hated cell phone usage while driving. Hope he recovers quickly.

Here is basically the text of that article:

Parke County - One man was killed and two were injured in a two-car crash in western Indiana Saturday.

The crash occurred on SR 47 near CR 640 East in northeastern Parke County around 1:20 pm. Police believe 17-year-old FN Lutz III of West Lafayette was driving a 2000 Jeep Wrangler northbound on SR 47 when he traveled into the southbound lane. At that time, a Buick LeSabre driven by 22-year-old Kevin Boicourt was traveling southbound on SR 47 and moved into the northbound lane to avoid the Jeep.

Lutz noticed his error and attempted to steer back into the northbound lane and Boicourt reacted and tried to get back in the southbound lane. The vehicles collided nearly head-on.

Chad A. Simmons, a 26-year-old passenger in the Buick, was pronounced dead at the scene. Boicourt was airlifted to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis in serious condition with chest and internal injures and fractures. Lutz, who complained of hand and leg pain and was taken to St. Clair Medical Center in Crawfordsville, was cited for a left of center violation.

Troopers found during their investigation that Lutz was looking down to retrieve a cell phone immediately before the crash. It is unknown at this time if drugs or alcohol contributed to the crash. Police say all three men were wearing seatbelts.
