An Ellsworth woman was cited after a three-vehicle wreck in south Salina Thursday morning.

Patricia Allen, 66, of Ellsworth, was westbound on W. Magnolia Road in a 2016 Nissan Sentra when she attempted to turn south onto S. Ninth Street. Allen turned in front of an eastbound 2005 Mercury Marquis driven by Douglas Gormley, 60, of Salina, striking the car, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.

The impact caused the Mercury to strike an eastbound 1985 Chevrolet El Camino driven by Dennis Powell, 73, of Salina, Forrester said.

The Sentra had passenger-side damage and was towed. The Mercury had major front-end damage and was towed. The El Camino had front-end damage and was able to be driven away by Powell.

Allen was cited for failure to yield, Forrester said.
