Death
During the early morning of May 21st around 3 AM, Lindsey was a passenger in a 2004 Saturn Ion that was being driven by Chase Johnson on State 82. He lost control of the vehicle, entered a grassy median at the intersection of State 57, and collided with two utility poles before coming to a stop. Lindsey was killed from the crash; she was not wearing a seatbelt. Chase suffered serious injuries and was transported to the hospital. Although speed and alcohol do not appear to be factors in the accident, drug use by Johnson is suspected as a possibility.
A candlelight vigil in honor of Lindsey is being held May 22nd at 7 PM at the Midview High School Football Field.
