Police are looking for the driver of a white SUV involved in a hit-and-run collision in west Salina early Saturday morning.

A man living in the 1700 block of Beach Street heard a crash and ran outside to find that his legally parked 2011 Chevrolet Malibu had been damaged along the driver's side and front, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. A northbound vehicle struck the southbound parked Malibu, leaving white paint transfer on the car.

The wreck occurred at approximately 12:30 a.m. Saturday.

Later on Saturday morning, a witness reported seeing a white 2013 Buick Enclave with damage consistent with the hit-and-run parked in the 1200 block of Apache Drive. The Enclave had its emergency lights flashing and an unopened can of Natural Light beer was in the center console, Forrester said.

Police have been unable to contact the owner of the SUV, he said.
