A Shelbyville man was killed and two others injured in a State Road 9 head-on collision Monday afternoon.

The Shelby County Sheriff’s Department says first responders were called to the 10,000 block of south SR9 and a collision between a tractor-trailer hauling grain and a Jeep Liberty.

Johnathon May, 23, of Shelbyville, was the driver of the Jeep Liberty. The sheriff’s department release states that witnesses described the Jeep crossing the center line for an unknown reason while heading southbound. It then collided head-on with the tractor-trailer driven by Gary Jaquess, 65, of Columbus.

Jaquess and a passenger in the Jeep Liberty, Alexis Eversole, 22, of Shelbyville, were transported by Shelbyville Medics to IU Methodist. There’s no further word on their condition.

The investigation into the accident is ongoing.
