(KAIR)--A Fort Riley man, helping to move furniture in Atchison Friday, suffered injuries after he fell from a truck.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News Lawrence Zupon tried to hold on when the load shifted, but the tailgate came open, sending him falling to the ground below. “A pickup truck pulling a trailer was traveling in the 1400 block of Harper Drive,” Wilson said. “A 26-year-old man was holding onto furniture being transported in the back of the truck when the furniture began to move...as he fell he was grabbing hold of the tailgate, the tailgate then opened and then he fell out. He sustained injuries on various parts of his body, and was transported to a Saint Joseph hospital.”
Wilson said Zupon's injuries included those to his head, shoulder, and leg.
The accident happened around 10:30 Friday morning.
