SMITH VALLEY, Ind. (WISH) — A Johnson County Sheriff’s Office deputy and another driver were hospitalized after being involved in a head-on crash early Sunday morning.

Both were said to have non-life threatening injuries.

Johnson County Sheriff Duane Burgess said in a release that a sheriff’s deputy was responding to a domestic dispute around 2:48 a.m. Sunday.
