A local woman was arrested after a three-vehicle rear-end collision in downtown Salina late Friday night.

A 2016 Toyota RAV4 driven by Albert Shank, 63, of Salina, was southbound on S. Santa Fe Avenue and stopped at a red light at the Walnut Street intersection when it was rear-ended by a 2008 GMC Yukon driven by Emma Allen, 22, of Salina, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.

The impact forced the RAV4 into the back of a 2012 GMC Terrain driven by Michael Wilson, 47, of Salina, Forrester said. Two female passengers, a 38-year-old and 30-year-old also were in the Terrain.

The collision occurred at approximately 11:10 p.m. Friday.

The Yukon sustained front-end damage, the RAV4 sustained both front-end and rear-end damage, and the Terrain sustained rear-end damage, Forrester said.
