(KAIR)--A Saint Joseph, Missouri man goes to the hospital after smashing his vehicle into a pole while driving on an Atchison street.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News the crash happened Tuesday afternoon. “Officers responded to the area of 9th and Laramie, had a report of an injury accident. It involved one vehicle that was northbound on 9th Street that struck a utility pole alongside the roadway.
Wilson says the driver, 21-year-old Luke Crawford, was transported to the Atchison Hospital by ambulance for the examination of non-life threatening injuries. “Crawford was cited for reckless driving and no proof of insurance. Several witnesses reported to the officers that, prior to the accident, the vehicle was driving at a very high rate of speed.”
Crawford was issued the citation once he was released from hospital care.
The wreck happened shortly after 1:00.
