(KAIR)--A Nortonville man, Friday, escaped injury after colliding with a deer on an Atchison County roadway, but instead went to jail for unrelated reasons.

The wreck happened around 9:30 Friday night, on U.S. Highway 159, just south of 262nd Road. That's where Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, in a release, says 67-year-old Steven Lackey was southbound on the highway when two deer entered his path, with Lackey's Dodge Caravan hitting both animals.

Although the crash left Lackey unhurt, Laurie, in the release, says "Lackey was arrested at the scene for an unrelated warrant out of Anderson County, KS District Court."

Initially booked into the Atchison County Jail, Lackey has since been released after posting bond.
