(KAIR)--A Holton man and his dog both required treatment after being struck by a car, just east of Holton, on K-16 Highway.
According to Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, 22-year-old Sean Coop, of Holton, was riding a skateboard westbound in the center of the westbound lane of the highway, accompanied by his Dalmatian.
It was there that a westbound Chevy Impala, driven by 58-year-old Holton resident Dana Scheele, came over the hill in the roadway and struck Coop and his dog.
Coop was transported to a Topeka hospital by Jackson County EMS for the treatment of what Morse calls non-life-threatening injuries.
The dog was treated and then transported to a local veterinarian.
The accident, which occurred around 5:45 Saturday evening, remains under investigation.
Holton Police assisted.
