LAPAZ – A mother and a son who were injured in an accident on U.S. 31 that killed a man were expected to return home Monday.

Jennifer Houin and her 4-year-old son, of Plymouth, were headed south on U.S. 31 Friday when their SUV was struck by a vehicle driven by Nathan Vaupel, 27, of Chattanooga, Tenn.

An Indiana State Police crash report said that Vaupel’s car appeared to have drifted over the center line, causing the collision.

According to information from Tennessee Temple University, where he had been a student, Vaupel was on his way to a friend’s wedding.

Houin broke her right leg and suffered several minor injuries, a family member said.

Houin’s son was transported Friday to Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis, where he was examined for head and spine injuries. The boy was expected to be released and allowed to return home Monday.
