(KAIR)--The weekend rain is cited as playing a role in an Atchison County rollover crash that sent a Winchester resident to the hospital.
A release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie says deputies responded around 6:30 Saturday morning to a single-vehicle wreck on K-7 Highway north of 318th Road.
The investigation showed that 31-year-old Kinte Forrest was driving northbound on the highway when the car began to hydroplane. That caused, Laurie's release says, the car to leave the roadway and then roll onto its side partway down the roadside ditch.
Atchison County EMS, Rescue, and Shannon Fire responded and extricated Forrest from the vehicle.
Forrest suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported by EMS to Amberwell Atchison for hospital treatment.
