A Wichita couple got sprayed with coolant when they attempted to drive through the Tropical Sno drive-through to get to a nearby gas station on Thursday afternoon.
Darrell Youngman, 70, of Wichita, was driving a 2020 Mercedes-Benz van when he attempted to go through the drive through at Tropical Sno, 2259 S. Ninth Street, to get to a nearby gas station, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.
The van was tall enough that the top struck the drive-through overhang and an air conditioning unit located on top of the van was damage. The impact caused the air conditioning unit to spray coolant onto Youngman and his 62-year-old wife.
Youngman then drove the van across the street to Dillons, where the couple was trying to decide what they should do next when police made contact with them, Forrester said.
No citations were issued, he said.
