(KAIR)--Due to anticipated freezing rain and ice, the Atchison County Sheriff’s Office is implementing an Emergency Accident Reporting Plan.
According to a press release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, the plan will take effect Saturday and last all weekend.
Drivers involved in NON-INJURY collisions outside the city limits, but inside Atchison County, are instructed to exchange driver information, insurance and tag information at the scene and then contact the Atchison County Communications Center with the contact information and accident location.
Again, this plan only applies to collisions where no one is injured, the wreck was not a hit and run, no alcohol or drugs were involved and all vehicles are safe to drive.
If those criteria apply to your collision, Laurie said to move your vehicle to a safe place if conditions allow—preventing more accidents from occurring. If conditions do not allow, leave your flashers on and do not attempt to push or pull your vehicle out of the ditch until conditions improve.
A deputy will contact you at a later time to take an accident report if necessary.
Again, Laurie says all other accidents of a serious nature should immediately be reported and Emergency Crews will be dispatched immediately.
He encourages everyone to avoid travel during these conditions.
