On Tuesday, just before 8 p.m., officers from the Indiana State Police, the Fulton County Sheriff's Office and the Rochester Police Department responded to an injury-involved crash at the intersection of U.S. 31 and Southway 31. Officers arrived within minutes to locate one of the drivers unconscious and unresponsive.
