(KAIR)--A slick roadway, caused by the late weekend winter blast that left icy roads in its wake, is blamed for a head-on, Atchison County crash Sunday in the 17000 block of 262nd Road.

According to a release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, 18-year-old Katja Schuele of Atchison was driving eastbound when she hit a patch of snow, lost control, and crossed the center line, striking a westbound SUV driven by 59-year-old Tracy Pieper of Lancaster.

Atchison County EMS and Rescue responded, but both drivers refused transport from the scene.

The icy roads that met motorists early this week is cited as the reason behind two City of Atchison crashes Monday.

A release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson says one happened in the 1500 block of N Street when an Atchison driver struck a mailbox. The other occurred in the 800 block of North 1st Street where a Seneca driver collided with two parked vehicles.
