A Salina woman was cited for inattentive driving after a three-vehicle accident Friday afternoon.
Shannon Trimmell, 50, of Salina, was eastbound on East Magnolia Road in a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu at approximately 1:10 p.m. Friday, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported. Trimmell reached for something in the passenger seat and when she looked up, she was unable to stop and ran into the back of a 2018 Hyundai Elantra driven by Susan Leidig, 56, of Salina, that was stopped at the light at the intersection of East Magnolia Road and South Ohio Street, he explained. That collision forced the Elantra into the back of a 2007 Buick Lucerne driven by Emma Brady, 17, of Salina, that also was stopped at the light, he added.
A 72-year-old male in the Elantra complained of neck pain and was transported to Salina Regional Health Center by EMS, Forrester noted. No other injuries were reported.
The Lucerne had two passengers, a 13-year-old female and a 14-year-old female, he added.
All three vehicles were damaged, but were removed from the scene by their owners, Forrester reported.
According to Forrester, Trimmell was cited for inattentive driving and Leidig was cited for no proof of insurance.
