While driving, Jacob loses control of the vehicle and crashes into a lamppost. Wendy is not wearing a seatbelt. Moments later, Archie emerges from a nearby service road. Archie has a habit of not taking sufficient time to observe traffic before pulling out and collides with Jacob’s stationary vehicle. Wendy suffers severe blood loss and a fractured leg. Medical experts are unable to determine whether these injuries were caused by Jacob’s collision with the lamppost or Archie’s subsequent collision. Jacob develops post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and the accident significantly worsens a pre-existing depressive disorder.

Feeling great sympathy for Wendy and wanting to relieve her pain, Lynsey administers a dose of diamorphine substantially greater than the medically recommended amount. The overdose causes circulatory failure, resulting in permanent liver damage.
