HANCOCK COUNTY, Ind. — A memorial is growing for a Hancock County high school senior killed in a crash over the weekend.
Friends and family are remembering 17-year-old Lindsay Locker as kind and generous.
Locker was a passenger in a truck driven by her boyfriend, Cody Mastin, who's a recent high school graduate from Greenfield-Central High School. Mastin is still in critical condition at IU Health Methodist Hospital one day after crashing his truck Sunday afternoon in Hancock County.
Locker died at the scene.
Investigators said Mastin was driving west on County Road 300 North when his truck hydroplaned on the wet and cold road. When he tried to regain control, investigators believe he overcorrected and crashed into two trees.
Police say neither Locker or Mastin was wearing a seatbelt.
A day later, on a cold and gray November day, Mady Swafford remembered Locker, her little cousin, who some have described as a ray of sunshine.
"She brought so much light to this world," Swafford said, laying flowers at the scene where some parts from Mastin's truck still lay in the grass. "She was beautiful."

Eighteen-year-old Emmy Mills, who met Locker through a 4-H pageant both were in, also brought flowers.
"I just felt an obligation to because she was such a sweet girl," Mills said. "I just remember her being so incredibly selfless backstage, always trying to make the girls that were afraid to go out, laugh and making fun of herself to make other people laugh."
"I thought that was just so inspiring, because she really wanted to see the other girls happy," Mills added.
According to a GoFundMe page to raise money for Locker's family, the 17-year-old was a member of FFA, 4-H and a cheerleader for 13 years.
"She was so invested in cheer. She was planning to do cheer for college," Swafford said.
Now, Locker's family and friends are left with the pain of a life cut short, wondering what could have been.
"I knew she was destined to be something," Mills said.
