Seymour Assistant Police Chief Craig Hayes says that 17-year-old Danika Collins, of Seymour, died from blunt force trauma to the chest.

She was a front-seat passenger in a car driven by 18-year-old Garan Terrell, of Brownstown.

Terrell was taken to Schneck Medical Center in Seymour, where he was treated for minor injuries and released.
