(KMZA)--A Fort Riley soldier has been arrested in connection with head-on collision last August in Nemaha County that sent four people to the hospital.

The Nemaha County Sheriff’s Department says 29-year-old Justin Gerdes was arrested Sunday on a Nemaha County warrant for three counts of aggravated battery, transporting an open container and driving under the influence.

The charges stem from a two-vehicle wreck on August 22nd on U.S. 63 Highway about 7 miles north of Seneca that was investigated by the Kansas Highway Patrol.

The Patrol says Gerdes was northbound when he attempted to pass another vehicle and collided head-on with a southbound vehicle driven by 21-year-old Kelsey Ann Bradley, of Seneca.

Gerdes and Bradley were both transported to the Nemaha Valley Community Hospital in Seneca with unspecified injuries. Two passengers in the Bradley vehicle, 46-year-old Bryce Bradley and 45-year-old Dana Bradley, both of Seneca, were also transported to the hospital with possible injuries.

Gerdes remains in the Nemaha County Jail, held on a $150,000 bond.
