Her health is.After the crash, she was first taken to a local hospital in Fort Wayne. Soon after, doctors decided to airlift her to a hospital in Indianapolis because of how serious her injuries were.
Since then, updates have been slowly coming in. Her school later shared that she is now in stable condition, which has given some relief to everyone who has been following her story.
