A Salina man was cited for inattentive driving after a three-vehicle wreck Tuesday morning.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that Eric Deherrera, 42, of Salina, was eastbound on E. Crawford Street near the intersection with Lewis Avenue in a 2011 Dodge Charger when he rear-ended a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica that was stopped in traffic. The Pacifica was driven by Rebecca Ragan, 46, of Salina.

The impact forced the Pacifica into the back of a 2004 Buick Century driven by Maxwell Scheffler, 59, of Salina, Forrester said.

The accident occurred at approximately 7:35 a.m. Tuesday.

An 11-year-old boy was a passenger in the Charger and a 13-year-old boy was a passenger in the Century, according to Forrester.

No one suffered major injuries, he added.

The Charger sustained major front-end damage and was towed from the scene. The Pacifica sustain both front- and rear-end damage and was towed from the scene. The Century sustained rear-end damage and was removed by Scheffler.

Forrester said Deherrera was cited for no proof of insurance, no driver's license in possession, and inattentive driving. Scheffler was cited for no proof of insurance, Forrester said.
