Rick Jones, 59, of Franklin died at the scene of the crash on S.R. 2 near Larrison Boulevard, according to the St. Joseph County Prosecutor’s Office.

A semi driven by a 25-year-old Chicago man turned left onto S.R. 2 from Larrison Boulevard at about 8:50 p.m. and was rear-ended by Jones’ semi. The Chicago man suffered back and neck pain.
