(KAIR)--A Monday evening rollover wreck led to the arrest of a 23-year-old after the man allegedly ran from the crash site.

A report from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson says Ioannis Markou, of Atchison, was behind the wheel of a southbound SUV on 6th Street “when it left the roadway, struck a power pole and street sign, [then went] up a grassy embankment” which caused the SUV to roll over onto its top.

Markou was not injured and, according to Wilson’s report, “ran from the accident scene but was taken into custody by officers in the 800 block of South 5th.”

Markou was arrested for leaving the scene of the accident, then booked into the Atchison County Jail.

A passenger in the vehicle, 28-year-old Christopher Edwards, of Atchison, was examined at the scene by Atchison County EMS, but was not transported for hospital treatment.

The wreck happened around 5:35 Monday evening.
