According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, officers responded around 11:00 Thursday morning to the 1200 block of North River Road after a southbound Jeep SUV struck a semi truck from behind.
Wilson says heavy truck traffic on the gravel road had kicked up significant dust, and the semi driver had slowed to allow a northbound truck to pass when the crash occurred.
The Jeep was driven by 32-year-old Joseph Hunt of Atchison while the semi was driven by 30-year-old Leavy Jones of Kansas City, Kansas.
Atchison County EMS responded and examined Hunt on the scene but he was not transported.
