After the initial collision, the Jeep traveled left of the centerline and struck a white semi-tractor-trailer driven by 62-year-old David Jackson of Westfield, Indiana.
Carey was flown by CareFlight to Miami Valley Hospital with serious injuries. Yoder and Jackson were treated and released at the scene.
The crash remains under investigation by the Darke County Sheriff’s Office.
