Atchison Co wreck leaves one injured

(KAIR)--A man went to the hospital following a two vehicle, Saturday morning Atchison County crash.

According to a report from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, 63-year-old Gerald Madden, of Effingham, was southbound on Edwards Road, at the intersection of 116 Highway in rural Atchison County, behind the wheel of Buick Regal.

Madden made a U-turn on the south side of the intersection, then drove north into the intersection. It was then that a Ford pickup truck, driven eastbound on the highway by 74-year-old Holton resident George Royer, struck the side of Madden’s car, in the intersection of the highway and Edward’s Road.

Madden was transported to the Atchison Hospital for the treatment of what Laurie’s report calls multiple injuries.

Royer refused treatment but had a small cut on the left side of his forehead.

The wreck happened shortly after 9:00 Saturday morning.
