A Fairmount man was arrested Monday following a one-vehicle crash in northern Madison County.

The accident occurred just before 9:30 p.m. on County Road 150 East, just north of CR 1750 North.

Indiana State Police Trooper Michael Thiron found Kenneth Price, 28, conscious and alert, sitting on the ground behind his 1992 Mitsubishi pickup.
