Police are investigating a hit-and-run wreck in central Salina Wednesday evening.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that a 2007 Buick Lucerne driven by a 74-year-old Salina man was westbound on W. Crawford Street and stopped at the S. Santa Fe Avenue intersection when it was rear-ended by another vehicle. That vehicle was described as a white SUV.

The wreck occurred at approximately 8:20 p.m. Wednesday.

After striking the Lucerne, the SUV fled the scene.

The Lucerne sustained some rear-end damage, but was removed by the driver. The SUV should have front-end damage, Forrester said.
