(KAIR)--Two Lawrence, KS women required hospital treatment after their vehicle crashed late Thursday morning in Atchison.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, in a release, says it happened shortly before the noon hour, in the 1300 block of U.S. Highway 59, where his officers responded following the report of the wreck.
What they discovered was that 20-year-old Lisbeth Alvarenga-Mendoza had been eastbound on the highway, in the outside lane, when her Kia Soul “was forced to take evasive action when an eastbound semi truck that was changing to the outside lane caused the vehicle to leave the roadway [where it] struck a pole causing the vehicle to land on its side.”
Alvarenga-Mendoza was transported to Amberwell Atchison by Atchison County EMS for treatment of her injuries.
Her 21-year-old passenger was also taken there, but by private vehicle.
