(KNZA)--Seven people were injured in two separate Brown County wrecks over the weekend.
Brown County Sheriff John Merchant says the first wreck occurred late Saturday night shortly before 11 in the area of U.S. Highway 73 and Longspur and left three injured.
Merchant says the driver, 19-year-old Hiawatha resident Dalton Herwig, was ejected from his vehicle after it rolled.
Herwig and a passenger, 16-year-old Falls City resident Dakota Watson, were transported to the Hiawatha Community Hospital for treatment of unspecified injuries. Another passenger, 19-year-old Jess Hale, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, was transported to the hospital later by personal vehicle.
The wreck remains under investigation.
Merchant says four people were injured and another arrested following a head-on collision early Sunday morning in the area of U.S. 73 Highway and Sagebrush Road shortly after 12:30.
He says a Cadillac driven by 37-year-old Brad Donahue, of Powhattan, was westbound and crossed the center line, striking a Chevy Traverse driven by 63-year-old Atchison resident John Wohlgemuth.
Wohlgemuth and three passengers in his vehicle, who were all wearing seatbelts, were transported to the Horton Community Hospital where they were treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Donahue, who was not wearing a seatbelt, refused medical treatment. He was arrested for driving under the influence.
The wreck remains under investigation.
