Riley County Police Department was called to the scene of a crash west of Manhattan in the 6100 block of Anderson Avenue, late Sunday evening.

When officers arrived on scene they located a 2003 Subaru Forester driven by Jose Castro-Rivera, 25, of Manhattan.

Castro-Rivera was traveling west when he swerved to miss a deer entering the roadway, causing the car to leave the roadway, partially overturn, before stopping in a field right-side up.

Both Castro-Rivera and a passenger, Axel Chaves, 22, of Manhattan were both transported to Via Christi in Manhattan for treatment of minor injuries.
