Police said Endler was traveling northbound, crossed the median, and smashed head-on into a car driven by Kaitlyn Collins.
Collins suffered a broken leg and a breast deformity. Collins’ passenger, Aarika Strober, suffered a broken hand and a shattered knee that required a partial knee replacement. She also suffered a breast deformity that has increased her risk of cancer, police said.
