(KAIR)--Minor injuries for an Atchison man following a single vehicle crash Wednesday evening.
Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie says it happened when 18-year-old Joseph Schmidt was driving on U.S. Highway 59, north of 222nd Road.
Laurie says deputies rushed to the scene, in the area of Highway 59 and K-116, and found Schmidt to be outside of his Mercedes Benz, which was off the west side of the highway, resting in a brush pile.
Wearing a seatbelt at the time of the wreck, Laurie says Schmidt suffered apparent cuts and scrapes, but no life-threatening injuries, and refused medical treatment at the scene.
However, he was transported by private vehicle for a hospital visit.
Laurie says the wreck, reportedly shortly before 7:45, apparently happened when Schmidt looked down to fix an issue with the audio system in his car.
