Two people were injured in a multiple-vehicle rear-end collision in south Salina Tuesday afternoon.
A 2013 Jeep Wrangler driven by Savik Howard, 30, of Salina, was northbound on S. Ninth Street near the intersection with Otto Avenue when it struck the rear of a 2016 Chevrolet Traverse driven by Magda Rodriguez, 53, of Salina, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.
The force of the collision sent the Traverse into the rear of a 2004 Cadillac DeVille driven by Margaret Dixon, 59, of Salina. Dixon's car then struck the rear of a 2018 Dodge Ram 1500 driven by Kirby Smith, 34, of Bennington, Forrester said.
The wreck occurred at approximately 4:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Howard told police that his foot slipped off the brake as he attempted to stop the Wrangler.
Both Rodriguez and Dixon sustained minor injuries and were transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center, Forrester said.
All four vehicles sustained some damage but were able to be driven from the scene.
Howard was cited for following too closely, Forrester said.
