(KAIR)--A Wednesday night Atchison wreck sent a man to the hospital, with charges pending as the investigation moves forward.
According to a report from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 34-year-old Charles Walker, of Atchison, collided with a traffic light pole at 14th and U.S. Highway 59 around 10:15 Wednesday night.
He had been westbound on the highway, turning south onto George Street, when the wreck happened.
According to the report, Walker was transported by Atchison County EMS for hospital treatment.
Wilson told MSC News the wreck occurred as officers were investigating a disturbance in the 1000 block of Kansas Avenue, reported around the same time.
A damaged, parked truck was seen at that location by police, with a 33-year-old victim telling them it had been struck by a vehicle driven by a person they knew, who fled the scene.
It’s believed the vehicle that crashed into the truck was the same 2009 GMC pickup, driven by Walker, at the time of the traffic light pole crash.
The case remains under review.
