POTTAWATOMIE CO. -

UPDATE: Just before 3:30pm on December 14th, Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Deputies were dispatched to the area of Rockenham Road and Hanson Road on the report of a single vehicle crash.

When Deputies arrived on scene they found the vehicle in the creek, with both the driver and a passenger already out of the vehicle.

Both occupants declined medical treatment at the scene.

On Monday, December 18th, a wrecker service assisted the Pottawatomie County Deputies, and the Geary County Sheriff's Office/Junction City Fire Department Dive Team in removing the vehicle from the creek.

No citations were issued by law enforcement for this incident.

Earlier this week, the Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office requested assistance from the Geary County Dive Team to recover a vehicle after it crashed into a creek.

Both the driver and passenger of the vehicle escaped without injury.

The Geary County Dive Team is composed of members of the Geary County Sheriff's Office and the Junction City Fire Department.
