(KAIR)--A Nortonville woman required hospital treatment following a single vehicle, Friday afternoon crash, which happened on 286th Road, near Hamilton Road, in Atchison County.

According to Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, 19-year-old Cleo Lee was eastbound, on 286th, when the pickup truck she was driving went south off the roadway, with Laurie saying it appears Lee over-corrected, sending the vehicle back onto the roadway, where it slid sideways into the oncoming lane of traffic, then off the right side of the roadway, where it hit an embankment, and went through a fence. The truck then went airborne, struck a power pole, and stopped, upright, in a field.

Laurie, in a report, says Lee suffered "a few lacerations," and complained of injuries to her hip/leg area, with Atchison County EMS and Atchison County Rescue both responding to the scene, with Lee later transported to Mosaic Life Care, in St. Joseph, Missouri, for treatment.

The wreck happened shortly before 1:45 Friday afternoon.
