DECATUR COUNTY, Ind. — A crash in Decatur County left an Ohio man dead Wednesday morning.

According to a press release, Indiana State Police responded to a portion of State Road 3 located just north of Greensburg around 6 a.m. on a report of a fatal two-vehicle crash.

ISP’s crash reconstructionists determined a 2017 GMC Acadia being driven by 36-year-old Adam P. Peters of Morristown, Ohio, was traveling southbound on State Road 3 before the crash. Per ISP, the Acadia Peters was driving crossed the center line on SR 3 for an unknown reason, entering the path of a person driving a Ford box truck northbound.
