BROOKVILLE -- A Salina man was injured in a one-vehicle accident just south of Brookville Wednesday evening.
Aaron Thrower, 36, of Salina, was traveling southbound at a high rate of speed in the 3600 block of South Brookville Road at approximately 7:40 p.m. Wednesday when the 2010 Lexus he was driving hit the railroad tracks hard and he lost control of the vehicle, Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning. The vehicle launched off the tracks and went off the road and into a stand of trees, Soldan said.

Thrower was trapped in the vehicle and had to be extracated, Soldan said. Thrower was transported by Salina EMS to Salina Regional Health Center with what were believed to be non-life-threatening injuries, Soldan added.
The case remains under investigation pending the return of the results of an alcohol test, at which time any requested charges will be determined, Soldan said.
