One man lost his life and one woman suffered multiple injuries and was transported via AirEvac in a crash involving two vehicles around 5 p.m. Saturday on County Road 1000 West, also known as Lone Tree Road, and State Road 48.

Deputy Camron Frye of the Greene County Sheriff’s Department, the lead investigator, responded after the sheriff’s department received a 911 call at 4:51 p.m., Saturday, December 7. The caller reported a two-vehicle crash with injuries in the area of State Road 48 and County Road North 1000 West.

Deputy Frye said that upon arrival, it was determined the driver of a 2010 Nissan Cube, Richard Neighbors, was deceased.

Amy E. Neighbors, a passenger in the Cube, was extracted from the vehicle then airlifted to Regional.

The other vehicle involved was a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado. David Burger, 60, Jasonville, was the driver of the Silverado with one passenger onboard, Jeremy D. Burger, 30.
