Wreckage after a Monday night Atchison crash, that left two teens injured, in the 1300 block of Commercial Street/Credit: Atchison Police Dept.
(KAIR)--Details are released regarding two recent crashes, one in the City of Atchison and the other in Atchison County, that left several injured.
On Monday night, shortly after 10:30, the city crash occurred, with Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, in a release, saying it happened in the 1300 block of Commercial Street, where police were called following the reported wreck.
According to Wilson, a car that had been driving at what he calls "a high rate of speed westbound on Commercial Street" ran off the roadway when 16-year-old driver Haylee Roles, of Atchison, lost control. That caused the car to crash into a concrete retaining wall on the north side of the street, and then into concrete steps and a metal railing before rolling over and landing on its top.
Wilson says Roles and the 15-year-old boy traveling with her were both ejected from the car in the crash, with both transported by Atchison County EMS to Mosaic Lifecare, in St. Joseph, Missouri, for treatment of their injuries.
The County crash happened last week, on September 4, involving a City of Atchison dump truck that crashed on U.S. Highway 73, just south of 262nd Road, that morning around 10:30.
According to a release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, 32-year-old Atchison resident Joshua Vandruff was northbound on the highway when, Laurie says, "it appeared that the vehicle- passenger side tires went off the roadway and possibly overcorrected causing the vehicle to cross over the southbound lane and into the ditch where the truck overturned."
Vandruff was trapped inside the wrecked dump truck, but was freed successfully by Atchison County EMS and Rescue, and then transported by EMS to Mosaic Lifecare with non-life threatening injuries.
