An Emporia man was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence following an injury accident northwest of Olpe on Saturday evening.
According to Lyon County Deputy Eric Williams, Deputies and Emporia/Lyon County EMS were called to the 600 block of Highway 99 around 9 pm. Williams says 27-year-old Devin Burris of Emporia was traveling northbound on K99 in a 2008 Hyundai Azera when he failed to negotiate a curve.
The vehicle then went into a ditch and overturned. Burris and his passenger, 50-year-old Harvey Burris Jr., exited the vehicle before first responders arrived. Emporia/Lyon County EMS examined both men at the scene and both refused further treatment.
Devin Burris was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.
