traffic crash
(KAIR)--An early Saturday morning single-vehicle Atchison County wreck sent an Atchison man to the hospital.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says 53-year-old Patrick Wentz was northbound on U.S. 73 Highway, north of Rooks Road, when he failed to negotiate a curve and his pickup truck went off the roadway. Wentz overcorrected and lost control of his vehicle, which went into the ditch, traveled up an embankment and overturned.
Wentz was transported to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph with suspected serious injuries.
The Patrol says he was not wearing a seatbelt when the wreck occurred shortly before 2:30.
