(KAIR)--Three Atchison accidents during the weekend caused injuries that sent two to the hospital.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News the first happened Friday evening but required no hospital treatment, despite minor injuries suffered by a teenage bicyclist. “We had a 13-year-old boy that was on a bicycle that ran a stop sign at 10th and Mound and collided with a car. Even though EMS responded to the scene, it was determined he only had minor injuries and he was not transported.”
The second accident happened Saturday afternoon on U.S. Highway 59, where two vehicles collided.
Wilson said that occurred when Atchison resident Rachel Genail, behind the wheel of an eastbound Ford Explorer, turned left onto 14th Street. Her vehicle collided with a westbound Chevrolet Suburban, driven by Oskaloosa resident Hunter Knopp.
Genail’s 17-year-old passenger was transported to the hospital by Atchison County EMS for the treatment of injuries.
Genail was cited for failure to yield.
The third accident occurred Sunday evening when a GMC Envoy, westbound on U.S. Highway 59, was stopped at the 6th Street stoplight.
A westbound Ford Edge, driven by 34-year-old Bethany, Missouri resident Kimberly Rowe, failed to stop, causing her vehicle to collide with the rear of the Envoy.
Rowe was transported by Atchison County EMS to the Atchison Hospital for examination.
The driver of the Envoy, Sherry Gray, of Atchison, was not hurt.
