(KAIR)--No one was hurt despite a short, tireless ride, for an Easton driver traveling in Atchison Tuesday.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News the Chevrolet pickup truck, around 12:20 Tuesday afternoon, had been southbound on South U.S. Highway 73, near Green Street, when the rear driver's side wheel/tire came off the truck.

According to Wilson, the tire struck, and damaged, a fence on the east side of the roadway, with the driver able to safely stop the truck, which was later towed from the highway.

No injuries are reported.
