(KAIR)--An Atchison man was arrested following a weekend UTV crash that sent his passenger to the hospital.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 45-year-old Eric Molt was arrested Saturday, in the 300 block of Atchison’s South 22nd, for driving under the influence, fleeing and attempting to elude, transporting an open container, reckless driving, and unlawfully operating a utility vehicle in the city limits. Molt was issued a notice to appear in court.

According to Wilson, an officer on patrol, around 8:00 Saturday night, “observed a utility side by side vehicle driving recklessly in the area of U.S. [Highway] 73 and Service Road. The officer attempted to stop the UTV, with the vehicle instead going a short distance before it left the roadway and rolled onto its side.

A 36-year-old woman who was traveling with Molt in the UTV was transported by Atchison County EMS to Mosaic Life Care, in Saint Joseph, Missouri, for the treatment of unspecified injuries.
