CLINTON COUNTY, Ind. — A man is dead following a crash early Wednesday morning in Clinton County.
Sheriff’s deputies were called to the area of County Road 300N and 700E just after 1 a.m.
Deputies arrived and found a gray 2005 Dodge Neon crumpled against a tree.
The driver, 21-year-old Caylen Reed, of Frankfort, died before he could be taken to a hospital.
