(Madison, Ind.) - A 21-year-old man from Madison was killed in a Friday afternoon crash on U.S. 421 in Ripley County.

Troopers investigating the crash found that a 2016 Kia Soul driven by Shannon Hubbard, of Pekin, Indiana, was attempting to pass another vehicle when it struck head-on a 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage driven by Henry Finney, who was driving the other direction.
