(KAIR)--No hospital care was necessary after a pickup truck rolled, while stopped, and ended up down an embankment on the north-side of U.S. Highway 59 Saturday afternoon, south-east of the Atchison Area Chamber of Commerce.

According to a report from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, the 68-year-old driver of the truck had pulled into a parking lot on the south-side of the highway, in the 900 block of U.S. 59, to adjust a windshield wiper. As he did so, the truck began to roll from its parked position, with the driver attempting to stop it.

Unable to do so, the truck rolled down the hillside, requiring it to be towed, as Atchison emergency crews oversaw the scene.

According to Wilson, the driver did incur unspecified injuries while trying to stop the vehicle from rolling, and was treated at the scene by Atchison County EMS, but was not transported for hospital treatment.
