Sunday Wreck Leads To Arrests

(KAIR)--Three arrests are made following a late Sunday morning Horton wreck that happened inside the Atchison County line.

Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie says 41-year-old Joy Matchie, of Mayetta, was arrested for driving under the influence, while her two passengers, 35-year-old Monica Keo and 48-year-old Quentin Green, both of Horton, were arrested for transporting an open container.

The arrests followed a wreck that the Kansas Highway Patrol says happened around 11:40 Sunday morning, one mile west of U.S. Highway 159, in Horton, at the intersection of 310th and Anderson Roads. It was there that 18-year-old Garrett Meyers, of Horton, westbound on 310th Road, failed to yield his car at the uncontrolled intersection, causing him to collide broadside into a northbound van, driven by Matchie.

Laurie says Matchie was booked into the Atchison County Jail, while Keo and Green were released with notices to appear in Atchison County District Court.

The Patrol, which assisted Laurie's office at the scene, says Keo was transported to the Horton Community Hospital for the treatment of possible injuries.

Everyone in the two vehicles were wearing seatbelts.

 

Editor's note: Below is an earlier version of the story, which incorrectly identified the wreck occurring in Brown County, due to preliminary investigation information released by the Kansas Highway Patrol.

A passenger in the Matchie vehicle, 35-year-old Monica Keo, was transported to the Horton Community Hospital for the treatment of possible injuries.
