ATCHISON COUNTY—One person was injured in an accident just after 10a.m. Thursday in Atchison County.
According to Police Chief Mike Wilson, a 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe driven by Alexandria Woessner, 32, Atchison, was northbound on U.S.73 when the vehicle struck the curb on the west side of the northbound lanes.
The driver overcorrected and the SUV left the roadway on the east side of the northbound lanes and struck a retaining wall that runs parallel to U.S. 73 Highway. After impact, the SUV rolled.
EMS transported Woessner to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph for treatment.
A police vehicle headed to the accident scene was involved in a collision, according to Wilson. The police vehicle was westbound on U.S.59 and was turning south onto U.S.73 when it collided in the intersection with a vehicle that had been northbound on U.S. 73. There were no injuries in that accident. The Kansas Highway Patrol investigated the 10th and U.S. 59 accident.
