(MSC News)--Two Atchison residents required hospital treatment following a Wednesday morning rollover wreck.
Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie tells MSC News the driver of the car,
20-year-old Eric Smith, Jr., and his 21-year-old passenger, Jenna Hord, were both transported to Topeka's Stormont Vail for the treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
According to Laurie, the car they were traveling in was headed northeast on U.S. Highway 59, near Kiowa Road, when Smith lost control, causing the car to exit the roadway and rollover.
Laurie says Smith was issued citations for driving while not licensed, failure to wear a seatbelt, driving with unsafe tires, and no proof of insurance.
Hord also received a no seatbelt citation.
The wreck happened around 9:40 Wednesday morning.
