SEYMOUR – A two-vehicle crash on US 31 near Seymour, Sunday sent a motorcyclist to a Louisville, Kentucky hospital with serious injuries.
According to an Indiana State Police report, a black 1994 Harley-Davidson motorcycle, driven by 45-year-old Jeremy L. Longbrake, of Seymour, was traveling south on US 31, just south of US 50. A black 2019 Honda CR-V, driven by 83-yar-old William W.

The investigation is ongoing.
