(KAIR)--A Leavenworth man requires hospitalized care following a weekend wreck while riding a motorcycle in Atchison County.

Sheriff Jack Laurie says it happened Saturday night, around 10:30,when 35-year-old Odell Mitchell Vanpatten was traveling southbound on K7 Highway, north of 330th Road.

His motorcycle went off the road and hit a rock in the grass, causing it to wreck.

Vanpatten was transported to Mosaic Life Care, in Saint Joseph, for the treatment of what Laurie says was a laceration to his forehead, along with other precautionary treatment.

Laurie says Vanpatten was issued a notice to appear in Atchison County District Court for DUI and violation of restriction. That means the motorcycle he was riding, which did not belong to him, was not installed with an interlock device, as required by law, based on Vanpatten's DUI history.
