BOONE COUNTY, Ind.–A Thorntown woman was killed in a crash in Boone County Thursday afternoon.

The Boone County Sheriff’s Office says it happened just before 2:30 near the intersection of State Road 39 and a county road.

They have reason to believe 43-year-old Nicole Spann was driving a silver and red 1994 GMC 1500 pickup truck recklessly and hit a dump truck head-on. Spann was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the dump truck, 36-year-old Brandon Buchanan of Gosport, was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

They are trying to figure out what caused Spann to leave her lane of travel.
