(KAIR)--Two teenage brothers from Lancaster required hospital treatment following a single-vehicle, noon hour crash in Atchison County Friday.
Sheriff Jack Laurie says 15-year-old Gabriel Livingston, identified as the driver of a minivan, and his 14-year-old brother, John, were both transported by Atchison County EMS to the Atchison Hospital for the treatment of minor, non-life threatening injuries.
According to Laurie, the minivan was westbound on 286th Road, about 2 miles west of U.S. Highway 73, when Gabriel Livingston lost control of the vehicle, causing it to collide with a road sign.
Laurie says the driver was issued a notice to appear in court for the infraction of driving on restrictions, as the teen had a learner's permit.
The impact of the crash caused significant damage to the passenger side of the minivan, and left both brothers with scrapes and bruises on their arms.
