Two people were injured in a two-vehicle crash Wednesday night after one of the drivers ran a red light.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that Julian Wood, 28, of Salina, was eastbound on W. Republic Avenue in a 2015 KIA Forte when he ran the red light at the intersection with S. Broadway Boulevard and struck a southbound 2010 Chrysler Town and Country minivan driven by Debbra Burt, 64, of Salina. A witness confirmed that Wood did not stop for the red light.

The crash occurred shortly before 9:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Wood lost consciousness after the crash and was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center, Forrester said. Burt, who suffered minor injuries, was treated and released at the scene, he said.

Wood was cited for failing to stop at a red light, Forrester said.
