(KAIR)--An early Saturday evening Atchison County motorcycle crash sent two Atchison residents to the hospital.

According to a press release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, the Sheriff's Office was dispatched to the crash on U.S. 73 Highway in the area of 230th Road around 6:20.

Laurie says it appears 36-year-old Nicholas Goodpasture had been northbound when his Harley Davidson motorcycle left the roadway and crashed on the right shoulder.

Goodpasture and his passenger, 43-year-old Meredith Scherer, were both ejected.

Goodpasture was transported by LifeNet helicopter to the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City and Scherer was transported by ambulance to the hospital.

The extent of their injuries is unknown at this time.

Laurie says they are not ruling out alcohol consumption being a contributing factor in the crash.

Editor's note: An earlier version of this story listed Nicholas Goodpasture as 31-years-old instead of 36. It has been updated for accuracy.
