Two people were injured when a car struck Tony's Pizza Events Center Saturday.

James Lininberger, 51, of Salina, was driving a 1965 Pontiac LeMans at 2:15 p.m. Saturday in the 800 block of The Midway when he accelerated and the pedal became stuck, causing him to lose control of the vehicle, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this morning. 

The LeMans hit the curb and then Tony's Pizza Events Center, causing damage to the southeast wall and breaking a gas line, Forrester explained. 

Lininberger received an upper ear laceration and nose abrasion and a 47-year-old female passenger received a broken leg and left foot, Forrester reported.

The LeMans had damage to the front end, he added.

According to Forrester, Lininberger was cited for exhibition of speed.
