(KAIR)--Mechanical issues are blamed for a teenage Effingham driver losing control and crashing while southbound on an Atchison County road Tuesday afternoon.
Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, in a release, says 17-year-old Emmalee Burnham, reportedly because of the mechanical issues, lost control of the pickup truck she was driving on Edwards Road near 1st Street in Effingham.
Burnham attempted to correct, causing her, Laurie says, to go across the road and into the ditch which sent the truck airborne causing it to crash into fence posts in the field.
Burnham and her passenger, a 15-year-old Effingham girl, were both transported for the treatment of what's reported as minor injuries.
The crash occurred around 1:15 Tuesday afternoon.
