A Salina man was transported to the hospital after a scooter he was driving struck a bus in a parking lot Wednesday evening.
A 2019 Ford Econoline E350 bus driven by Joseph Funk, 59, of Salina, was in the Sunset Plaza parking lot, 1221 W. Crawford Street, and sitting at the stop sign waiting to turn onto S. Broadway Boulevard when a northbound 2022 scooter driven by Nelvin Richardson, 63, of Salina, turned into the parking lot, striking the bus, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.
The wreck occurred at approximately 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Richardson was injured and transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center, Forrester said. Funk and a 67-year-old female passenger in the bus were not injured, he added.
The bus sustained minor damage to the side and the scooter sustained some damage, Forrester said.
Richardson was cited for not having a driver's license and for inattentive driving, Forrester said.
