BOONE COUNTY, Ind. — An investigation is underway after a two-vehicle crash left one person dead Monday morning in Boone County.

Deputies with the Boone County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched shortly after 10:30 a.m. to the area of 8800 West 300 South after receiving multiple reports indicating that a serious crash had occurred.
