(KAIR)--An Atchison County vehicle fire leads to the arrest of a Cummings woman.

According to a report from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, it was about 1:50 Saturday morning when a resident notified Atchison County EMS that a vehicle was on fire at the KDOT Roadside storage lot, located at the intersection of Graham Road and 9 hwy.

When deputies arrived, the vehicle was fully engulfed in flames.

Effingham Fire arrived and controlled the fire, determining that nobody was inside, Laurie said.

It was determined the Chevrolet pickup had come to rest in an area that KDOT had burned a pile of limbs. The report said that most likely caused the vehicle fire.

After using the plate number to determine the owner, deputies went to their residence.

The report say 36-year-old Ashly Hundley was driving the pickup around 1:30 a.m. Eastbound on 9 Hwy at Graham Road when the vehicle left the roadway, striking road signs, then crossing Graham Road and going into the ditch by the KDOT roadside storage area.

40-year-old Shane Hundley, of Cummings, was a passenger in the vehicle who suffered minor cuts and scrapes. Ashly was not hurt.

Ashly was later taken into custody for driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an injury accident.

The report said the owners had no knowledge the vehicle caught on fire and thought it was damaged but never saw signs of the fire.
