In an update to our earlier stories about two separate accidents in Atlantic, Atlantic Police Chief Steve Green reports the drivers of two vehicles involved in a collision this (Thursday) morning at the intersection of Highway 71 and 22nd Street, were transported to the hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

Green says a pickup driven by Jason Jordahl, of Atlantic, was traveling north on Highway 71 at around 7:28-a.m., and slowing for a vehicle stopped and waiting to turn left onto 22nd Street, when his vehicle was hit from behind by an SUV driven by Chelsea Adams, of Atlantic. Adams was cited for Failure to Maintain Control and Reduce Speed. Damage from the crash amounted to $9,000.

And, an accident Wednesday afternoon just south of the intersection of 10th and Chestnut Streets resulted in 16-year old Caleb Kelly, of Atlantic, being sent to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Chief Green says Kelly was traveling south in a 2-door Saturn at around 2:17-p.m., when he suffered from a medical issue that caused him to jerk the steering wheel to the right. The car then hit a utility pole guy wire before flipping onto its left side and ending up on its roof. No citations were issued.
