(KAIR)--An Atchison teenager required hospital treatment after his bicycle was struck by a motorist Thursday night in the 100 block of the city's 9th Street.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, in a release, says the 14-year-old cyclist, eastbound in an Atchison alley around 9:15 Thursday night, entered 9th Street where he collided with a southbound car driven by 22-year-old Atchison resident Anthony Quintois.

The cyclist was transported by Atchison County EMS to Amberwell Atchison for examination of his injuries.

Another crash earlier Thursday also sent crews rushing to the scene, but no one ultimately required hospital treatment.

Wilson says that wreck happened early Thursday afternoon at 12:15 at 15th and Kansas Avenue.

It was there, Wilson says, a pickup truck, southbound on 15th Street and driven by 59-year-old Faucett, Missouri resident David Lawson, "entered the intersection and collided with [an SUV]" driven by 18-year-old Boomer Foster, of Atchison.

The collision, Wilson says, caused the SUV to strike another SUV that was parked on the south side of the 1400 block of Kansas Avenue.

Atchison County EMS responded to the scene and examined one of the drivers and a passenger but no one was transported.
