She overcorrected, causing the car to slide off the north side of the road, first striking a ditch and then a utility pole with the driver’s door. The impact broke the REMC pole off at the base.

Flynn was partially trapped under the car, but Wagler was able to free her. He was also able to free the back seat passenger, Flynn’s sister, Angie G. Garten, 14, 1159E 150S. No seatbelts were in use. All three were taken by ambulance to Daviess Community Hospital and then flown by AirEvac and St. Mary’s Life Line helicopter to St. Mary’s Hospital, Evansville.
