(Jennings County, Ind.) - A woman from North Vernon died in a crash on U.S. 50 at the Ripley-Jennings county line Monday morning.
Two pickup trucks going opposite directions on U.S. 50 sideswiped each other just after 6:30 a.m., says the Jennings County Sheriff’s Department. The pickups were driven by Brittany Comer, 27, of Holton, and Jason Hamm, 41, of Brownstown.

Hoover was pronounced dead at the scene.
Comer was hospitalized with minor injuries, while Hamm was not hurt.
