A Shelbyville man was killed and two others injured in a State Road 9 head-on collision Monday afternoon.
The Shelby County Sheriff’s Department says first responders were called to the 10,000 block of south SR9 and a collision between a tractor-trailer hauling grain and a Jeep Liberty.
Johnathon May, 23, of Shelbyville, was the driver of the Jeep Liberty.
