That red car might be the passenger car, not the SUV.
On Edith Schmucker's FB page, on October 2021, she posted a picture of her car (posted below) with the comment, "Damn round about on my home today!!!"
Here is some of the info I gathered:
She lived in Nappanee on Clark Street.
She worked as a Personal Care Assistant at Miller's Senior Living in Wakarusa.
From her house to work is an 8.3 mile drive north, that includes taking State Rte. 19. That part of 19, where the accident occurred, is a two lane road with fields on either side, has a 55 mph speed limit, and is a straightaway. There is a roundabout where 119 comes in.
So I would think it is a route she travelled often, and knew well.
What made her veer into their lane and hit them head on I do not know. Medical emergency? Distracted? Swerved to avoid an animal?
Tragic situation all the way around.
I pray for all the families involved.
