Both deputies were killed in a single-car crash while responding to help a deputy town marshal in Clinton County early Saturday morning, according to Indiana State Police.

Rainey was on-duty and Northcutt was off-duty and doing a ride-along.

Around 1:30 a.m., they were responding to help a deputy Rossville town marshal who requested assistance during a traffic stop, Indiana State Police Sgt. Jeremy Piers said.

Other deputies who were responding to assist the deputy town marshal found the crash on State Road 26 near Washington Street in Sedalia and stopped to help them, Piers said. They both died at the scene.

According to a preliminary investigation, Rainey was driving his sheriff's office issued Dodge Charger when he left the road for an unknown reason and struck a utility pole, Piers said.
