Original: Ongoing investigation: Injury accident on Centennial Road causes road closure
On Sunday just before 11:00 am, SPD responded to a three-vehicle crash in the 2000 block of Centennial Road. Based on the investigation conducted by SPD's Traffic Unit, it was determined that a 2001 Honda Accord driven by 20 year-old Brayden Brown, was traveling northbound and attempted to pass a 2023 Buick Envision driven by 26 year-old Cesareo Morales Jr.
The Buick Envision also contained two juvenile children under the age of 14.
At the same time, a 2007 Ford Edge driven by 26 year-old Falon Deherrera was driving southbound on Centennial as the Honda was attempting to pass the Buick.
During the passing maneuver, it was reported the Honda clipped the Buick. As a result, the Buick left the roadway going through a fence and flipped onto its roof.
The Honda started to leave the roadway as well, then over-corrected back onto the roadway, crossing over to the southbound lanes of traffic. It was then struck by the southbound Ford causing significant damage to the Honda.
Brown was ejected from the Honda and transported to Salina Regional Health Center (SRHC) for minor injuries.
All occupants from the Buick were transported to Salina Regional Health Center with minor injuries and the driver of the Ford, was transported to SRHC and later airlifted to a Wichita hospital.
Centennial Road from Cloud Street was closed for a period of time, but is now open.
