Two teens were injured when an SUV struck a retaining wall in east Salina Monday night.

A 2000 Chevrolet Blazer driven by a 17-year-old girl was westbound on Country Club Road when it took the curve onto Marymount Road too fast and struck a retaining wall on the property at Marymount Road and E. Iron Avenue, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.

The wreck occurred at approximately 11 p.m. Monday.

Six other teens - two boys and four girls ranging in age from 14 to 19 - also were in the SUV. Two of the passengers were injured and transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center, Forrester said.

The driver was cited for speed too fast for conditions, he said.
