2 dead in Clinton County crash

CAMBRIA, Ind. (WISH) — Two people are dead after a crash in Clinton County Tuesday morning.

The Clinton County Sheriff’s Office says the collision happened just after 7:30 a.m. Tuesday on U.S. 421/State Road 39 between county roads 500 North and 550 North. That’s about six miles northwest of Frankfort.

Investigators say a vehicle driven by 51-year-old Richard Windell Jr. of Delphi was southbound when it went left of center, crashing into a semi driven by 73-year-old Terry McQuern of Frankfort.

Windell and McQuern were both pronounced dead on the scene.

McQuern’s semi traveled off the road after impact, crashing into a porch. No one else was injured in the crash.

The road was closed until just after 2 p.m.

Investigators have not said what led up to the crash.
