(KAIR)--Two weekend Atchison accidents, including a hit and run involving a young bicyclist, required hospital care for the injured.

The first happened Friday evening, around 6:15, in the 1000 block of Price Boulevard.

It was there, according to Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, that officers were called after a southbound pickup truck left the roadway and struck a utility pole.

The driver, identified by Wilson as 20-year-old Jeremiah Mullins, of Atchison, was transported by Atchison County EMS to Amberwell Atchison for the treatment of his injuries.

According to a release from Wilson, Mullins was cited for no driver's license, illegal tag, and no proof of insurance.

The second accident, the one involving the young cyclist, happened Saturday afternoon around 4:45, at the intersection of 16th and Santa Fe.

According to Wilson, the 8-year-old boy was riding the bicycle eastbound on Santa Fe when a vehicle, described only as a smaller gray SUV, failed to stop at the intersection, colliding with the cyclist in the intersection.

Wilson says the suspect vehicle then fled from the area without stopping, leading to a search by Atchison Police. Anyone with information related to the vehicle, its driver, or both, should contact police at 913-367-4323.

The young cyclist was taken to Amberwell Atchison by private vehicle where he was treated for injuries and released.
