FINNEY COUNTY – A Kansas teen was injured in an accident on Tuesday in Finney County.

Just after 8 p.m. first responders were dispatched to Taco Bell, 2408 E. Kansas and determined the driver of a Nissan 200SX Andrew Marcotte, 21, Garden City, pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant as a friend Josue Perez, 16, Garden City, stopped and spoke with him, according to a media release.

After a few minutes Perez jumped on the hood of the car and told Marcotte to drive him around the drive-through.

As Marcotte drove around the parking lot Perez slid from the hood of the car and fell to the ground.

Perez was transported to St Catherine hospital by Finney County EMS with head injuries and then later transported to a Wichita hospital.

Marcotte was cited and released for Reckless Driving, according to police.
