(KAIR)--A 51-year-old man requires hospital treatment after he's struck by a pickup truck while walking on Atchison's River Road.
Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News it happened shortly after 7:30 Monday morning when 31-year-old Matthew Carr was northbound on River Road.
According to Wilson, he looked down, taking his attention from the roadway and that's what led him to strike the man, walking in the 1000 block, near the north city limits of Atchison.
Wilson says the victim, identified as Mike Reams, was transported by EMS for hospitalized treatment of his injuries.
Carr was cited for inattentive driving.
