A Salina woman was injured when another vehicle ran a red light and struck her car Thursday afternoon.

Jane St. John, 74, of Salina, was northbound on S. Front Street in a 1993 Mercury Topaz when a 2017 Honda Pilot driven by Lois Yost, 75, of Salina, that was westbound on E. Crawford Street, ran a red light and struck her car, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. The accident occurred at approximately 2:10 p.m. Thursday.

St. John suffered minor injuries, but was not transported to the hospital, he said. Yost and a 74-year-old man who was a passenger in the Pilot, were not injured.

The Topaz had passenger-side damage and the Pilot had extensive front-end damage, Forrester said. Both were towed from the scene.

Yost was cited for failing to stop at a stop light, Forrester said.
