Clark was pronounced dead at the scene; authorities confirmed he was not wearing a seatbelt.
Hunt was airlifted to Ascension St. Vincent Hospital-Indianapolis with life-threatening injuries. His wife received treatment at the scene, while their four children were transported by ambulance to a local hospital. All occupants of the Cadillac were wearing seatbelts.
