(Holton, Ind.) – One person was seriously injured in a two-vehicle crash on Monday.

Ripley County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the crash on Old Michigan Road around 5:30 p.m.

The second driver was treated at the scene but denied transport.

Drugs and alcohol are not believed to be a factor.
