Two people were injured in a three-vehicle wreck at a busy south Salina intersection Thursday afternoon.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that Pamela Robinson, 61, of Texas, was northbound on S. Ninth Street in a 2018 Nissan Rogue and attempting to turn left onto W. Magnolia Road when she struck a southbound 2018 Subaru Forester driven by Douglas Klimek, 69, of Salina. The impact caused the Forester to strike a southbound 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 driven by Dustin Lauffer, 23, of Salina, sending the pickup into a city traffic light pole, Forrester said.

The wreck occurred at approximately 2:35 p.m. Thursday.

Both Robinson and Lauffer suffered minor injuries, but were not transported to the hospital, Forrester said.

All three vehicles sustained front-end damage and were removed from the scene by a wrecker service.

Forrester said Robinson was cited for failure to yield the right-of-way.
