The Geary County Sheriff’s Department reports that Deputies responded to the 19000 block of Old Highway K-18 Sunday for a single vehicle rollover accident.  While enroute to the scene Deputies were advised no one was around the vehicle.

Contact was later made with Darrick Masenthin, Manhattan, who stated he was traveling east when a deer ran out in front of him and he swerved to avoid the deer, causing his 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer to leave the roadway, go up an embankment and overturn.

The Sheriff’s Department reported that Masenthin was issued a Notice to Appear for alleged Failure to Report an Accident, Leaving the Scene of an Accident and No Seatbelt. Scratches and bruises were reported as a result of the accident.
