This Saturday there were two separate accidents that claimed lives on the Indiana Toll Road.

The first accident involved a 42-year-old semi-truck driver who collided into the back of a horse trailer. The horse trailer had become disconnected from the motor vehicle it was secured to, and the driver struck the trailer killing himself on impact.

The second car accident on the Indiana Toll Road was caused by a driver losing control of his vehicle on the slick roads. The roads were icy and created hazardous driving conditions. The vehicle was pushed from the right lane to the left lane after losing control, ultimately striking a semi-truck.

The 31-year-old was driving on the highway with his 24-year-old girlfriend when they noticed that a car next to them had both of their passenger side windows rolled down. They found it odd and tried to pass the vehicle. The vehicle returned and the girlfriend recalls that the vehicle she was in suddenly lost control and hit a concrete wall on an exit ramp.

The reason for the vehicle losing control was due to her boyfriend being wounded by a gunshot fired from the other vehicle.

Stricter driving laws pertaining to teen drivers could prevent deaths in Indiana, according to a study.

One of the most effective regulations, officials say, would be the driver’s permit age.  By making the driver’s permit age 16 years old instead of 15, 49 lives in Indiana could be saved each year when a harsher law on driving exists in the state.

Teen drivers between the ages of 16 and 19, when not properly trained, are four times more likely to be involved in a car accident than other drivers. Indiana could also save up to $300 million each year if harsher driving laws were put into action.
