Wrecks worked Sunday and Monday in Atchison

(KAIR)--A Sunday afternoon Atchison wreck left both drivers transported by private vehicle for hospital examination.

That word comes in a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, who says the crash happened around 12:50, at the intersection of 8th and Riley Streets. It was there, he says, that a Ford Fusion, east on Riley, had stopped at the stop sign; but, when 79-year-old Cheryl Boldridge entered the intersection, her vehicle collided with a Ford Explorer that had been southbound on 8th Street, driven by 25-year-old Alexis Birkinsha.

According to Wilson, Atchison County EMS was on the scene of the wreck and examined both drivers who ultimately refused transport, instead opting to be taken for hospital treatment by private vehicle.

Boldridge was cited for failure to yield.

An early Monday morning wreck into parked vehicles again brought Atchison County EMS to the scene, though the driver refused transport.

Wilson says it happened around 3:40, in the 400 block of South 6th, where Allyson Furhman struck a parked vehicle, which then, due to the impact, went on to crash into a second parked vehicle.

Furhman was cited for improper driving on a laned roadway.
