Nobody was injured following a single-vehicle accident just before 3 p.m. on Wednesday in Salina.
Eyewitnesses report that a blue 2007 Hyundai Elantra was traveling south on the alleyway connecting Parkwood Drive and East Cloud Street when a pickup started backing out of a nearby parking spot.
Noticing the pickup, the driver of the Elantra, identified as "Barbara," over-corrected her vehicle and veered off the alleyway. She went through a wooden fence and toppled a tree.
"We were called for a vehicle that went through a fence and hit a tree," said Chris Stansberry, Salina Fire Battalion Chief. "By the time we got there, the occupant was already out of the vehicle. EMS checked on her, but then she refused to go to the hospital."
The witness and nearby resident, Deb Cunningham, told Salina Post she had just gone inside for a drink of water when the accident occurred.
"It couldn't have been less than two minutes after I went inside when I heard a loud bang," Cunningham said. "She landed right in the area where I had been weeding."
Salina Post will update this story as more information becomes available.
