(KAIR)--A Wednesday morning wreck, at Atchison’s River Road, may have been due to a medical issue.
That’s according to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, which states that “it is believed the driver,” identified as 74-year-old Atchison resident Francis Wiltz, “was suffering a medical episode that caused the accident,” which sent Wiltz’s pickup truck, eastbound on Commercial Street, off the roadway at River Road, where it “struck the Veteran’s Park pavilion.”
According to Wilson, Wiltz was transported from the scene by Atchison County EMS and taken to Amberwell Atchison for treatment of his injuries.
