Atchison woman injured in wreck

(KAIR )--A two-vehicle wreck in the city of Atchison Thursday afternoon sent an Atchison woman to the hospital.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, it happened around 3:40 at the intersection of South 10th Street and U.S. 59 Highway.

The release says Candace Shields was driving a Chevy pickup truck southbound on 10th Street when a northbound Chevy Suburban driven by Mary Wurtz, of Atchison, attempted to turn west onto U.S. 59 and the vehicles collided.

Shields was transported to the Amberwell Health Hospital by ambulance for the treatment of injuries.

Three children in the Shields vehicle were examined by EMS at the scene, but were not transported.

Wilson said the occupants in both vehicles were wearing seatbelts were the wreck occurred.
