(KAIR)--A Tuesday night wreck, on Highway 159 in Atchison County, sent a Winchester man to the hospital after he crashed while trying to avoid a deer in the roadway.
Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, in a release, says it was around 8:30 that night when 26-year-old Michael Johnson was southbound on the highway, near 286th Road, when he swerved to avoid the animal. When he did, that caused him to overcorrect, which sent Johnson's vehicle off the highway, where it rolled over, stopping upside down.
Johnson, according to Laurie, suffered minor lacerations in the wreck and was assessed at the scene by Atchison County EMS, and was later taken for hospital examination by a family member.
Along with EMS, Atchison County Rescue assisted on-site.
