(KAIR)--A late Wednesday morning Atchison crash, at U.S. Highway 59 and the Omaha Junction, sent a Muscotah man and his passenger to the hospital.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, in a release, says it happened around 11:00 when a van, that had been southbound on the U.S. Highway 73/U.S. Highway 59 connecting link, turned east onto 59 and collided with a Peterbilt semi tractor-trailer that was northbound from a business parking lot, crossing 59 to the connecting link.
The driver of the van, 75-year-old Thomas McLaughlin, of Muscotah, and his 70-year-old female passenger, were both transported by Atchison County EMS to Atchison’s Amberwell Hospital for examination.
The driver of the semi, 55-year-old Hiawatha resident Timothy Torkelson, was not hurt.
