(KAIR )--A Friday afternoon two-vehicle wreck in the city of Atchison sent four individuals to the hospital.

According to a report from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, the wreck was reported shortly before 3:30 at the intersection of 10th and Commerical Streets.

Wilson said a Jeep Grand Cherokee driven 17-year-old Atchison resident Emily Dexter was westbound on Commercial Street when a northbound Ford pickkup truck on 10th Street entered the intersection and struck her vehicle.

Dexter and three passengers, two 9-year-olds and a 13-year-old, were transported by ambulance to Atchison's Amberwell Hospital where they were treated and released.

The driver of the pickup, Tim Cooper, of Leavenworth, was not hurt.

Wilson said Cooper was cited for failure to yield.

Im surprised there arent more accidents at the many Stop Signs in AT. I walk and see so many cars roll through intersections, it is scary. Many folks either dont know or care what a cross walk is. More PD patrol would help. Folks crossing the center line in the 500- 600 blks of Commercial. Ridiculous drivers
