A Decatur County man was killed in a Monday motorcycle - car crash.
About 5:30 p.m., troopers from the Indiana State Police - Versailles Post investigated a two-vehicle crash that occurred in eastern Ripley County.

Peters’ vehicle slowed for another vehicle that was making a turn. Peters’ vehicle was then struck from behind by an eastbound 2008 Harley-Davidson motorcycle being driven by Augustus Reichman, 55, of Greensburg.
