The Saline County Sheriff's Office is investigating a hit-and-run accident involving two Ford Mustangs in the far western part of the county.
Kyle Johnson, 27, of Ellsworth, told deputies that he was eastbound on Kansas Highway 140 (K-140), about a mile east of the Saline-Ellsworth county line, when he thought a silver Ford Mustang with dark blue stripes and personalized tag that also was traveling eastbound was going to pass him, Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning. Instead, the vehicle struck the left rear part of Johnson's green 1995 Mustang, causing it to spin across the road and roll once, coming to rest on its wheels, Soldan said.
The silver Mustang also spun off the road, but soon recovered and sped off eastbound on K-140, he added.
Although Johnson noticed the silver Mustang had a personalized license tag, he was not able to read it, Soldan explained.
Johnson complained of minor injuries, but refused treatment, Soldan said. His car was towed, Soldan noted.
