A car stopped for a mother and her young ones waddling across the street was rear-ended by an SUV in central Salina Monday afternoon.
Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that a 2013 Ford Focus driven by Ann Yeagley, 58, of Salina, stopped in a northbound lane in the 700 block of South Ohio shortly before 2 p.m. Monday for a mother duck and her ducklings that were crossing the street. A 1997 Ford Expedition driven by Lisa Hahn, 55, of Salina, was following too closely and struck the rear end of the Focus, Forrester said.
Hahn complained of knee pain and a broken front tooth, but declined treatment, he said. Yeagley complained of neck pain and was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center, Forrester said.
The Expedition suffered front-end damage and the Focus suffered extensive rear-end damage, but both vehicles were able to be driven away, he explained.
Hahn was cited for following too closely and Yeagley was cited for no proof of insurance, Forrester said.
The ducks were not injured in the incident, he said.
