(KAIR)--One person is facing charges following a two-vehicle injury crash in Atchison early Saturday morning.

In a release, Police Chief Mike Wilson says officers responded to the intersection of 14th and Kansas Avenue shortly after 12:30.

Wilson says a 2019 Honda pickup truck driven by 42-year-old Joshua Hosier of Atchison was westbound on Kansas Avenue, while a 2001 Toyota Highlander driven by 18-year-old Joshua Campbell, also of Atchison, was southbound on 14th Street. The two vehicles collided in the intersection.

Atchison County EMS treated Campbell and a 21-year-old passenger for minor injuries at the scene, but they were not transported for hospital treatment. Hosier allegedly fled the scene on foot but went to Atchison Police Headquarters a short time later, and was then transported by EMS to Amberwell Hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in the wreck. Charges against Hosier are pending.

Meanwhile, regarding a separate Atchison crash, Wilson is asking for the public's help locating a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run crash that happened  January 27th. 

The wreck involved one vehicle driven by Nathan Jones of Atchison and a second, unknown vehicle at the intersection of Walnut and L Streets. 

Police are searching for the second vehicle, described only as a small black passenger car. 

Anyone with related information is asked to contact Atchison Police, 913-367-4323.
