Joseph Embers, 44, of Topeka, was eastbound on W. Water Well Road in a 2014 Ford C-Max when he failed to yield at the S. Ninth Street stop sign and collided with a southbound 1991 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Robbie Watson, 57, of Bridgeport, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.

The wreck occurred at approximately 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Both drivers suffered minor injuries and were transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center. An 18-year-old female passenger in the pickup was not injured.

The C-Max sustained extensive driver-side damage and the pickup sustained extensive front-end damage. Both vehicles were removed by wrecker.
