At about 10:18 a.m., Monday, June 3, a juvenile driving a black Chrysler 300 southbound on Ninth Street turned east onto Republic Avenue and caused a crash by cutting off a red Chevrolet Malibu.
Salina Police Department (SPD) Sgt. Carlos Londono said the driver of the Chrysler 300 held a driving permit and had a passenger in the vehicle, while the driver of the Chevy Malibu was the sole passenger.
"Two juveniles driving southbound on Ninth Street when the driver had a permit only turned left eastbound onto Republic and didn't see the car coming to their direction northbound and cut them off," Londono said. "The driver of the northbound car had minor injuries — some neck pain, but nothing super serious."
Londono said that no other passenger reported injuries from the crash.
While at the scene, two Salina Fire Department (SFD) trucks guarded the two cars from the busy traffic on Ninth Street. A few SPD vehicles barred traffic on Republic Avenue on the east side of the intersection of Ninth and Republic.
