Three people were injured in a two-vehicle accident Saturday afternoon in central Salina.

Clara McCoy, 89, of Ellsworth, was eastbound on W. Crawford Street in a 2002 Pontiac Aztek when she turned left in front of a westbound 1999 GMC Suburban driven by Robert Hopp, 64, from Abilene, at the intersection with S. Santa Fe, causing the Suburban to strike the Aztek, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this morning.

Both drivers and a passenger in the Suburban, Marie Hopp, 59, of Abilene, suffered minor injuries and were transported to Salina Regional Health Center.

The Aztek sustained right front damage, while the Suburban sustained front end damage, Forrester noted. Both were towed from the scene.

McCoy was cited for failure to yield on a left-hand turn, Forrester reported.
