(KAIR)--One driver required hospital care, while the other did not, following a double vehicle crash Saturday evening in Atchison. 

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, in a release, says it happened around 6:40 that evening, in the 800 block of U.S. Highway 59, when a westbound van on the highway, driven by 53-year-old Atchison resident Jeanie McHaley, was making a left turn into a parking lot. 

As she made the turn, Wilson says McHaley's van was struck in the rear by a westbound SUV, driven by 54-year-old Lawrence Miller, Jr., of Huron, sending the van into a tree, which it struck on the southside of the highway. 

McHaley, Wilson's release says, was treated at the scene by Atchison County EMS, then transported to Atchison Amberwell for further treatment of her injuries. 

Miller was not hurt.
