(KAIR)--A Horton woman escaped serious injury Sunday afternoon in an Atchison County rollover wreck.

According to a report from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, 25-year-old Megan Meadows was operating a SUV in the 13-hundred block of U.S. 73 Highway at Osage Road when the vehicle drifted off the roadway. Meadows attempted to overcorrect and the vehicle rolled numerous times, coming to a complete stop in a ditch on the north side of the highway.

She was transported to the Atchison Hospital for the treatment of minor injuries.

Laurie said Meadows was issued a notice to appear in court for operating the vehicle with a suspended driver's license.

Meanwhile, an Atchison man escaped serious injury Saturday in single-vehicle Atchison County wreck.

Laurie said 70-year-old Dwight Downing was westbound on 318th Road when he hit loose gravel and lost control of his Buick Century. The vehicle overturned, coming to rest in the eastbound lane shoulder.

Downing was able to get out through the back window.

EMS was called to the scene but Downing declined treatment for minor injuries.
