Police are looking for a black or dark-colored sedan with front-end damage after a hit-and-run collision in south Salina Monday afternoon.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that a 58-year-old Salina man had been driving southbound on S. Ninth Street in a 2008 Cadillac Escalade and was stopped at the light at the S. Ninth Street/Saturn Avenue intersection when his vehicle was rear-ended by a black or dark-colored sedan. The hit-and-run occurred at approximately 3 p.m. Monday.

The sedan then fled west on Saturn Avenue. The man attempted to follow the sedan, but eventually lost sight of it, Forrester said.

The Escalade received rear-end damage, but was still operable.
