(KAIR)--Two teens suffered minor injuries in a Friday evening wreck when attempting to avoid a collision with a deer on an Atchison County road.
Sheriff Jack Laurie says it happened when 16-year-old Rebecca Merrill, of Huron, was westbound on 286th Road, one mile east of Osage Road, when a deer ran in front of her vehicle.
Laurie says Merrill veered to the right to avoid striking the animal, but that sent her vehicle off the right side of the roadway where it struck a concrete culvert. The impact then sent the vehicle back across the roadway where it crashed into the south ditch and rolled over onto its top.
Merrill and her passenger, 17-year-old Connie Stowell, of Huron, were both transported to the Atchison Hospital as a precaution.
Laurie says both teens were buckled up when the wreck happened around 7:20 Friday evening.
