Three people were injured in a two-vehicle collision Tuesday afternoon south of Salina.

Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that Gregory Manning, 69, of Assaria, was southbound on Centennial Road in a tractor/trailer rig hauling grain when an eastbound 2003 Chevrolet Silverado driven by a 17-year-old Assaria boy failed to stop at the stop sign at the Centennial/W. Hedberg Road intersection. The 1983 Kenworth struck the pickup just behind the driver's door and then rolled, ending up on its side.

The wreck occurred shortly before 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Manning, the teen driver, and a 15-year-old girl who was a passenger in the pickup all sustained what were believed to be serious injuries and were transported to Salina Regional Health Center, Soldan said. A 40-year-old man who was a passenger in the Kenworth was not injured.
