A June wreck involving state Senate candidate John Eplee of Atchison has emerged over the weekend in the increasingly intense race for Senate District 1 where Republican Dennis Pyle is seeking reelection.
Republican candidate Craig Bowser sent mass text messages highlighting the wreck that Eplee - a state representative - was involved in on June 3 when his vehicle crossed the center line while heading eastbound on U.S. 73 in Atchison County.
The messages came with the Aug. 6 primary right around the corner.
