(KAIR)--Although no one was injured following a crash with a mailbox and utility pole, the driver was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.

According to a release from Atchison County Undersheriff Toby Smith, the arrest of the 32-year-old Atchison man followed Sheriff's Deputies being called to the 8300 block of Fremont Street for a disturbance, reportedly involving a fight that led to the vehicle driving from the scene.

Investigators determined that the driver, Jeffrey Foster, was behind the wheel of a Honda Civic when the car, northbound on Fremont, left the roadway and struck the mailbox and pole. Foster, and his lone passenger escaped injury, but Foster was arrested for DUI, and booked into the Atchison County Jail.

According to Smith, there is no report regarding the disturbance that reportedly preceded the crash, which occurred around 11:00 Saturday night.
