A medical issue is being blamed for a car striking a parked car before jumping the curb and striking a house in central Salina Friday evening.
A 2017 Ford Fusion was southbound on S. Fifth Street at approximately 8:20 p.m. when it struck a parked 2016 Chevrolet Spark, dragging the vehicle approximately 100 feet, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. The Fusion, driven by a 22-year-old Salina man, then jumped the curb and struck a house in the 900 block of S. Fifth Street.
Both incidents are believed to be the result of a medical issue on the part of the driver, who was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center, Forrester said.
The Fusion sustained extensive front and passenger-side damage, he added.
There were no damage estimates for the parked car or the house.
