A Columbus woman was injured after a crash involving farm equipment in southern Bartholomew County yesterday morning.

Bartholomew County deputies report that 33-year-old Stephanie Brown was taken to Columbus Regional Hospital for injuries she sustained in a crash with a tractor being driven by 61-year-old Mark Kiel. Kiel was uninjured.

The crash happened at about 8:40 Thursday morning on U.S. 31 north of County Road 600S. The accident remains under investigation.

Sheriff Matthew A. Myers wants to remind drivers that with the arrival of fall, you are likely to see more farm equipment on area roads. He suggested that you use extra caution, especially on rural county roads.
