A teen was injured Wednesday night in a two-vehicle accident in south Salina.
Casey Hartman, 40, of Salina, was southbound on South Ohio Street in a 2002 Nissan Xterra when he made a left-hand turn onto Albert Avenue and turned in front of a northbound 2001 Suzuki motorcyle ridden by a 17-year-old Salina male, causing the motorcycle to strike the Xterra, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this morning. The accident occurred at approximately 8:50 p.m. Wednesday.
Hartman then pulled into the Kwik Shop parking lot and fled from the scene on foot, Forrester explained. Hartman was later located at his residence, Forrester added.
The teen sustained injuries to the head, chest, arms, and legs, and was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center, according to Forrester.
Hartman was cited for expired registration, failure to yield the right of way, and leaving the scene of an accident, Forrester reported. The teen was cited for no proof of insurance and no valid driver's license, he added.
The Xterra had rear passenger side damage and the motorcycle had disabling damage, Forrester noted. Both were towed from the scene.
