INDIANA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS DIE IN MULTI VEHICLE CRASH IN ALABAMA

Four Indiana high school students from Angola are dead after a Multi Vehicle Accident in Alabama. Angola is in Steuben County in the northeast corner of Indiana, about 3 hours from Indianapolis. Indiana State Police say all four male victims were 18-years old and on their way home from Spring Break.

As reported by www.Wishtv.com, in the article, "Angola Teens Killed in Alabama Crash," three cars were involved in the auto collision, and a total of five people were killed. The vehicle accident happened Saturday afternoon on United States Interstate 65. Apparently, a car drove into oncoming traffic and collided head on with the car carrying the four Indiana high school students. Investigators say a third car was also struck as a result of the initial vehicle crash.

Indiana State Police say the Indiana victims are Alexx Bauer, Matthew Roe, Evan Weaver and Matthew Riley Zimmer.

This tragic auto collision brings to mind the frightening statistics involving teens and driving. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, two out of three teens who die in vehicle accidents are males. And, people between the age of 15 and 20 constitute 6.7% of all drivers in America but are involved in 14% of all deadly auto accidents.
