Two cars collided in the 3800 block of U.S. 421, sending a driver and a passenger to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis on Friday, June 26.
Maryland man in critical condition
A Maryland man was critically injured Friday afternoon, June 26 when his Chevrolet Lumina sedan was hit broadside by an SUV in the 3800 block of U.S. 421.
Robert McGovern, 48, was taken to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, with head, rib, pelvis, hip and internal injuries after the 2:34 p.m. crash, said Boone County Sheriff Office Deputy Chris Burcham.
Preliminary reports indicated that McGovern was the founder and CEO of CareeerBuilder.com, but that information could not be verified. A Web search, however, showed a Robert J. McGovern left CareerBuilder in 2002 and founded Jobfox.com. A search of phone records located only one Maryland resident named Robert J. McGovern.
McGovern had earlier landed at Indianapolis Executive Airport in a private plane, and was driving an airport courtesy car, Deputy Sam Scott said in a preliminary report.
Scott said McGovern’s maroon Chevrolet Lumina was hit on the driver’s side by a gold Chevrolet Trailblazer driven by Jacob M. Kublnick, 17, Indianapolis.
Kublnick was passing another southbound vehicle without enough room to avoid northbound traffic, Scott said.
McGovern swerved off the road attempting to avoid the crash, Scott said. The impact pinned McGovern in the sedan. He was extricated by Zionsville Fire Department.
Scott told reporters McGovern was unresponsive when emergency workers arrived at the crash, directly in front of Interactive Academy.
Kublnick complained of neck pain and was checked at the scene by medics. A passenger, David Boyer, 15, was injured when the Blazer’s airbag deployed; he was taken to St. Vincent Hospital, Indianapolis.
Zionsville police assisted at the scene.
