(KAIR)--An elderly driver lost control in the parking lot of an Atchison senior living center Monday afternoon, causing her to crash into the building, injuring one resident.

That’s according to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson which says 82-year-old Joan Prohaska, of Atchison, was maneuvering in a parking lot at the Gran Villa of Atchison when she lost control of her vehicle. When that happened, according to the release, Prohaska’s vehicle crashed into the west side of the building, located in the 1600 block of Riley Street.

Moving debris from a wall, damaged in the collision, struck a 78-year-old resident of Gran Villa and caused injuries. She was transported by Atchison County EMS to Amberwell Atchison for examination.

Prohaska was not hurt.

The wreck happened around 1:30 Monday afternoon.
