According to an Atchison County Sheriffs's report, 26-year-old Katelyn Hards' westbound vehicle was hit head-on when another vehicle allegedly went around others stopped on U.S. Highway 59, in the construction zone, near 262nd Road.
Posting to social media, she expressed her gratitude, saying she "just wanted to thank all the officers, EMTs, and fire/rescue workers who arrived on scene and took amazing care and patience" with her.
According to the Sheriff's Office, Hards was transported to Amberwell Atchison by Atchison County EMS for precautionary treatment. Hours later, Hards, who says she's pregnant, made her post to social media. She said that while she, as of Monday night, was "hurting quite a bit," she was "thankful" that she was able to make it home to her daughter and was showing no pregnancy complications.
