Two people were injured in a one-vehicle accident approximately six miles west of Salina Thursday afternoon.

First responders were dispatched to the intersection of West Crawford and South Hedville at 4:03 p.m. Thursday for the report of an injury accident, Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning.

A red 1995 Chevrolet pickup driven by Kieran Cunningham, 18, of Salina, was eastbound on West Crawford when it drove through a large pool of water and Cunningham lost control of the vehicle, Soldan said. The pickup crossed through the intersection with South Hedville, struck a stop sign, and partially rolled onto a fence, he said.

Cunningham and a passenger, Malaysia Johnson, 20, of Salina, complained of minor injuries and were transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center, Soldan said. Another passenger, Taylor Johnson, 20, Salina, was not injured, he said.

Cunningham was cited for failure to yield, Soldan said.
