A Salina man was cited for inattentive driving after a two-vehicle accident on S. Ohio Street late Wednesday afternoon.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that a 2015 Honda Fit driven by Stacy Chambers, 42, of Salina, was northbound in the 2000 block of S. Ohio Street and stopped at the red light at the Albert Avenue intersection when it was rear-ended by a 2013 Nissan Versa driven by K.C. Covington, 33, Salina. The accident occurred Wednesday at approximately 5:25 p.m.

Covington told police that he dropped something on the floor and when he looked up, it was too late to avoid the collision, Forrester said.

Chambers complained of back pain and transported herself to the Salina Regional Health Center emergency room, according to Forrester.

The Versa sustained front-end damage and the Fit sustained rear-end damage.

Covington was cited for inattentive driving.
