RIPLEY COUNTY, Ind. — A Madison man was killed in a two-vehicle crash Sunday afternoon.
Shortly before 3 p.m., 37-year-old Tyler Dukes was traveling eastbound on U.S. 50 near Holton in his vehicle when, for reasons still unknown to State Police, his SUV crossed the center line near County Road 600 West.

Both vehicles overturned, with the truck coming to rest off the north side of the roadway.
