(KAIR)--A pedestrian is struck while crossing an alley in downtown Atchison, and the driver who police say hit him is cited for going too fast.
Atchison Police Captain Tim Stout told MSC News it happened early Monday evening in the south alley located in the 600 block of Kansas Avenue.
It was there that a westbound vehicle, driven by Atchison resident Elijah Rowley, struck Robert Flack as he attempted to cross on foot. “Flack was taken to the Atchison Hospital [for treatment of] a possible hip injury,” Stout said.
According to Stout, Flack, of Atchison, was leaving a business, crossing the alley toward the parking lot, when the accident occurred.
Rowley was cited for excessive speed, no valid drivers license, and defective brakes.
The accident happened shortly before 6:00.
