Two people were injured in a two-vehicle accident Saturday afternoon near the State Street exit on Interstate 135 (I-135).
According to Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan, a white 2014 Buick Enclave driven by Dorene Healy, 65, of Lincoln, had exited northbound I-135, and was pulling out after stopping at the stop sign when it was struck in the rear driver's side by an eastbound red 2008 Saturn driven by Samantha Cook, 18, of Salina. The accident occurred shortly before 4:30 p.m. Saturday.
Cook was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center (SRHC) for an injury to her wrist and hand, Soldan said. Additionally, a passenger in her vehicle, Alex Cavaral, 28, of Salina, also was transported by EMS to SRHC. His injuries were not reported. A third passenger in the Saturn was not injured, Soldan said. Healy and a passenger in her vehicle were not injured, he added.
Soldan said that Healy was cited for failure to yield.
