(Vevay, Ind.) – A Kentucky man was killed in a head-on accident in Switzerland County.

Indiana State Police say the accident took place on State Road 156 near Vevay on Friday.

According to a news release, Jeffery C. Osborne, 29, of LaGrange, Kentucky was traveling eastbound on SR 156 near Plum Creek Road when his vehicle collided head-on with a vehicle driven by Shelby L. McCrillis, 26, of Patriot.
