A Salina teen was transported to Salina Regional Health Center after a two-vehicle wreck Saturday evening in the western part of the city.

A 16-year-old boy in a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado was stopped at the stop sign at the intersection of W. Republic Avenue and Cherokee Drive when he pulled out and struck a 2000 Toyota Camry that was already in the intersection, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. The Camry was driven by Mikal Terrell, 29, of Salina.

The wreck occurred just after 6 p.m. Saturday.

The boy complained of pelvic and leg pain and was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center, Forrester said.

The Silverado sustained front-end damage. The Camry sustained passenger-side damage and had to be towed from the scene, Forrester said.

The teen was cited for violation of restrictions and inattentive driving and Terrell was cited for no proof of insurance and driving on a suspended license, Forrester said.
