Kosciusko County Police are investigating a crash at U.S. 30 and State Road 19 between a semi-tractor/trailer and a pickup truck.  It happened at 3:14 p.m. and caused a chain-reaction crash that involved a third vehicle.  

Officers with the Bourbon Police Department were the first to arrive and found the truck fully engulfed in flames.  One of the individuals was ejected from their vehicle.  Etna Green Firefighters tried to extinguish the truck, only to discover a second burned body inside.
