RISING SUN, Ind. -- A Dillsboro man is dead after a one-vehicle crash around 3 a.m. Monday between Rising Sun and Aberdeen.

Ohio County Sheriff's deputies arrived at the crash on State Road 56 near Dibble Road to find 40-year-old Daniel J. Lynch dead at the scene with his car fully engulfed in flames.
