Madison County, Indiana – In a horrific early-morning collision in Madison County involving a riding lawn mower and a minivan, a man was killed, according to authorities.
The collision occurred in the 3000 block of East State Road 236 at about 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday, according to the Madison County Sheriff’s Office.
A 57-year-old woman was operating a black 2013 Dodge Caravan eastbound when it collided with a man operating a zero-turn riding lawnmower.
