Alcohol involved in Oct. 19 accident

An accident report from an Oct. 19 incident in which a Lawrence man was run over by a vehicle provided additional details about the case.

According to the report, Elbert Davis Jr., 22, of Lawrence, had fallen face-down on North Seventh Street, just north of Ash Street. The report indicates Davis has medical issues and had been drinking alcohol before the fall.

About 1:30 a.m., a Dodge Stratus driven by Wade Briscoe, 21, of Lawrence, turned the corner on Ash Street and headed north on North Seventh Street. Briscoe ran over Davis, dragging him 56 feet.

Officers suspect Briscoe had been drinking alcohol, and tests were administered. Results of those tests are pending, and Briscoe has not been arrested or charged.

Davis was transported to Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka, but a condition update has not been available.
