(KAIR)--An Atchison man takes a trip to the hospital, following a single vehicle Sunday evening wreck.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News 28-year-old Sean Grippando was behind the wheel of a mini van when the wreck happened around 7:00. "Grippando was eastbound on Harper Drive, at K-7 Highway, when the 2002 Chrysler mini van he was driving left the roadway, crossed a ditch, and drover into a yard where it struck a tree. He was taken to the hospital by private vehicle."

Although it's not believed that winter weather placed a role in the wreck, Wilson says it remains under investigation.

Wilson says his officers also worked several other minor accidents during the Christmas Holiday weekend, including one being blamed on the wintry weather. "We had several other minor accidents that occurred over the weekend, which included an accident at Hickory and Division, which was weather related."

The drivers in that Sunday crash, identified as William Cochrane, of Atchison, and Nicholas Maclaroy, of Shawnee, did not require hospital treatment.

A third wreck also caused no injuries, but serves as a reminder of the dangers deer pose on area roadways.

Wilson says that happened when a deer ran into the side of a vehicle traveling on Grandeur Road.
