Serious injuries avoided in Atchison wreck

(KAIR)--A double vehicle Atchison wreck left a man injured, but no one hospitalized.  

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, “officers responded to an injury accident at 5th and U.S. 59” at 6:45 Tuesday evening.  

The resulting investigation showed that 33-year-old Samantha Roles, of Atchison, and 52-year-old St. Joseph, Missouri motorcyclist, Thad Jenkins, had both been eastbound on the highway when Roles, behind the wheel of a Ford Fusion, turned south onto 5th Street, with Jenkins’ Harley Davidson striking the car in the rear end.  

According to Wilson, Atchison County EMS responded to the wreck, and examined Jenkins, who had an injured shoulder, but was not transported for hospital care.

Roles was not hurt.
