Two children were transported to Salina Regional Health Center after a two-vehicle wreck in west-central Salina late Thursday afternoon.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, a 1980 Chevrolet pickup driven by Gary W. Stout, 64, of Salina, entered W. Crawford Street just east of S. Broadway Boulevard and failed to yield to oncoming traffic. Stout swerved to avoid oncoming traffic and struck on the driver's side a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica driven by Kristina L. Hill, 38, of Salina.

The collision occurred at approximately 4:37 p.m.

Hill complained of pain, but was not transported to Salina Regional because of her injuries, the highway patrol report noted. Two children in the Pacifica, a three-year-old girl and an eight-year-old girl from Salina, suffered suspected minor injuries and were transported to Salina Regional. All three were properly restrained, according to the report.

Stout, who also was properly restrained, also suffered suspected minor injuries but was not transported.

The Pacifica was towed from the scene.
