Police are looking for the driver of a red pickup that rear-ended a car in west Salina and then left the scene Thursday evening.
A 17-year-old girl driving a 2008 Dodge Avenger told police that she was eastbound on W. Crawford Street and stopped at the stoplight at the Centennial Road intersection in the left turn lane when the car was rear-ended by a red pickup, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this morning.
The pickup pulled up along side of the car and the driver asked the girl whether she was alright. She told him that she was. The driver of the pickup then said that both vehicles should pull into the Kwik Shop, 1727 W. Crawford, the girl told police. The pickup, however, turned south on Willow Drive and did not stop, Forrester noted.
The girl told police that the driver of the pickup was an older male and that the pickup had a brush guard on the front.
The girl and her passenger, a 16-year-old girl, were not injured, Forrester reported.
The car had rear-end damage, but was able to be removed by the driver.
