A 73-year-old Salina man was injured when he was struck by a car while crossing S. Ohio Street Thursday morning.

Willard Bradshaw was crossing S. Ohio Street at the E. Iron Avenue intersection when he was struck by a westbound 2008 Ford Focus driven by Lexxi Espada, 19, Solomon, that was turning south onto S. Ohio Street, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. The impact threw Bradshaw onto the windshield of the car.

The accident occurred at approximately 9 a.m. Thursday.

Bradshaw was transported to Salina Regional Health Center with unspecified injuries, Forrester said.

The Focus received front end and windshield damage, but was able to be driven from the scene.

No citations have yet been issued as the case is still under investigation, Forrester said.
