One hurt, one cited, in Atchison crash

(KAIR)--One driver required treatment, while the other was cited, following a two vehicle, Wednesday afternoon crash at Atchison's 9th and Commercial streets intersection.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, a car, southbound on 9th Street, and driven by 71-year-old Atchison resident Robert McCourtney, after stopping at the stop sign, "proceeded into the intersection to head east onto Commercial Street." That's when his car collided with a pickup truck, that was westbound on Commercial Street, driven by 17-year-old Effingham resident Trisha Miller.

She was treated at the scene by Atchison County EMS, with Wilson saying she was then taken, by private vehicle, for examination at Amberwell Atchison.

According to Wilson, McCourtney was cited for failure to yield.

The wreck happened around 2:00 Wednesday afternoon.
