A porch was heavily damaged after a car plowed into it early this morning.
According to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester, it appeared that a white 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo was traveling northbound on Montrose Street, ran the stop sign at West South Street, continued across West South Street and up into the yard of 918 West South Street, striking the front porch of the residence. The front of the vehicle was completely under the porch, Forrester reported.
The incident occurred at approximately 3:50 a.m. Thursday, he added.
The residence was occupied by five persons at the time of the crash, however none were injured, Forrester noted.
A witness observed two subjects running from the scene, according to Forrester.
He reported the registered owner advised police that the car was recently sold.
A city inspector was called in to check the porch as there was a concern of it collapsing, Forrester noted.
The investigation continues, he added.
