(KAIR)--A Saturday night crash, involving an SUV northbound in the 500 block of Atchison's North 7th Street, sent the driver to the hospital and spawned an investigation by Atchison Police.
According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, the wreck, involving the Subaru Forrester driven by 72-year-old Atchison resident Robert McCourtney, happened shortly before 9:30 Saturday night when McCourtney is alleged to have crashed into two vehicles parked on the east side of 7th Street, a Ford Mustang and a Nissan Sentra, which sent McCourtney's Subaru landing on its top.
Wilson says the Atchison Fire Department responded, extricating McCourtney from the wreckage of the Subaru, who was then transported by Atchison County EMS to Amberwell Atchison for examination.
According to Wilson, the investigation into the wreck continues with alcohol as a factor.
