TIPPECANOE COUNTY, Ind. — A 75-year-old man was killed in a two-vehicle crash early Tuesday morning in Tippecanoe County.
Around 5:45 a.m., Tippecanoe officials responded to a report of a crash involving two vehicles and three people on State Road 25, near County Road 450 North.
When first responders arrived, they found a man in one of the cars and pronounced him dead. Officials then removed a 51-year-old Lafayette woman from the other vehicle who had serious injuries. She was taken to a local hospital after she was removed from the vehicle.
The Tippecanoe County Coroner's Office identified the deceased as Kenneth Mueller, of Buck Creek, Indiana.
Investigators preliminarily believe Mueller failed to yield on County Road 450 and crossed into the path of the woman's car that was going northbound on State Road 25.
The Indiana Department of Transportation said all northbound and southbound lanes of SR-25 were closed for investigation and cleanup.
As of 7:45 a.m., southbound lanes were back open, but northbound lanes were still closed. INDOT confirmed all lanes were back open around 9:15 a.m.
Officials have not shared additional information on the crash at this time.
