MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Ind. — A lineman from Montgomery County, Indiana was killed in a crash Tuesday night. 

Josh Chieppo, a lineman with Tipmont REMC, was involved in a single-vehicle crash Tuesday while returning from an outage restoration call. He was on his way back to the Linden, Indiana office when the crash happened, according to Tipmont REMC.
