(KAIR)--A Nortonville man required helicopter transport for hospital treatment following a two vehicle, Wednesday morning Atchison County crash.

According to a report from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, 29-year-old Kevin Berning, of Nortonville, was southbound on U.S. Highway 59 when he veered into the oncoming lane of traffic.

That caused his vehicle to collide with a northbound vehicle, driven by 27-year-old Matthew Kramer, of Valley Falls.

Berning was flown to the University of Kansas Hospital, by LifeNet, suffering from what the report says were possible broken legs.

Kramer was treated at the scene.

The wreck happened around 6:50 Wednesday morning.

A second Wednesday morning wreck left a rural Atchison County resident injured.

According to a report from Laurie, 18-year-old John Pantle was traveling on K-116 Highway, east of Kiowa Road, when he became distracted.

According to the report, that caused Pantle to lose control of his vehicle, which ran off the north side of the highway where it struck a culvert and ditch.

Pantle was transported for hospital treatment by private vehicle, suffering from what the report identifies as cuts to the face.

The wreck happened around 7:50 Wednesday morning.
