Sunday wreck injures one in Atchison

(KAIR)--A Sunday afternoon Atchison crash sent one to the hospital.

A report from the Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened at the intersection of 8th and Atchison Streets, when a westbound car, on Atchison, failed to stop at the stop sign, causing the Blue Springs, Missouri driver to crash into a pickup truck, southbound on 8th Street. The impact sent the car off the roadway, where it crashed into a power pole.

Despite the crash, the KHP reports the driver of that car, 52-year-old Partha Chowdhury, was not hurt, with no information made public about his juvenile passenger.

The driver of the truck, 47-year-old Clinton Ellerman, of Atchison, was not hurt, but his 44-year-old passenger, Atchison resident Jamie Goodpasture, was taken to Amberwell Atchison for examination of what KHP calls a "suspected minor injury."

According to the report, everyone involved in the wreck was buckled up when it happened shortly after 4:00 Sunday afternoon.

The KHP assisted Atchison Police at the scene of the crash.
