A Salina man was injured early Saturday morning in a vehicle-pedestrian accident just west of Salina.
Alberto Garcia, 23, of Salina, was standing in the middle of the eastbound lane in the 1500 block of State Street when he was struck by a gray 2007 Nissan Xterra driven by Tyler Elmore, 32, of Salina, Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning. The accident occurred shortly after 5:30 a.m. Saturday, he said.
Garcia suffered an injury to his leg and some scrapes, and was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center, Soldan explained. Elmore was not injured, he added.
The Xterra had to be towed from the scene due to damage from the accident, Soldan said.
