911 hang-up leads to wreck and one arrest

 

(KAIR)--A 911 hang-up call early Monday morning led to the discovery of an unreported wreck and to the arrest of an Effingham man.

Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie says deputies, around 12:45 Monday morning, responded to the site of the hang-up, a residence in the 400 block of Elizabeth Street in Effingham, where Laurie says they learned that occupants of the home had been involved in an earlier rollover crash south of Effingham on Effingham Road, also known as Edwards Road.

According to a release from Laurie, investigators determined 22-year-old Tyson Anderson, of Effingham, had been behind the wheel of a Ford Focus when he lost control after overcorrecting, causing the car to leave the roadway and roll multiple times.

Both Anderson and his 18-year-old passenger, Aleaha Siders of Falls City, Nebraska, were evaluated by Atchison County EMS for minor injuries but were not transported for hospital care.

Anderson was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an injury accident, then booked into the Atchison County Jail.

Laurie says the case remains under investigation.
