(KAIR)--A garage fire, and a rollover crash, both occurred after 7:30 Saturday morning, in Atchison, leaving fire crews rushing to both scenes.
Reported first was the garage fire, which happened shortly after 7:30 in the rear of 1725 Main Street, with Police reporting the garage was unoccupied, but fully engulfed in fire.
The location of the detached, two car garage meant fire fighters had to respond through the driveway of the convenience store the garage was located behind.
According to a release from Atchison Fire Chief Patrick Weishaar, Firefighters were able to bring the fire under control, “but heavy damage to the structure had already been sustained.”
The cause of the fire remained under investigation Saturday.
Weishaar, in the release, says some of the fire fighters were temporarily called from the scene of the fire following the report of a traffic crash.
According to Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, that occurred around 7:45 Saturday morning, in the 600 block of Laramie Street, where 26-year-old Taylor Bonar had been eastbound on Laramie Street. It was there, Wilson said, that Bonar's Ford Fusion “struck a parked vehicle causing [Bonar's car] to roll over onto its top.”
Bonar, of Atchison, was transported to Mosaic LifeCare, in Saint Joseph, Missouri, by Atchison County EMS, for the examination of possible injuries.
