A 91-year-old Salina man was killed Monday afternoon when he was struck by an SUV near Oakdale Park.
James Price, 91, Salina, sustained fatal injuries when he was struck by a 2015 GMC Acadia driven by Gary Hindman, 82, of Salina, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this morning. The accident occurred at 4:33 p.m. Monday in the 600 block of Oakdale Drive.
According to Forrester, the Acadia had just turned westbound onto Oakdale Drive from South Oakdale Avenue when Hindman reportedly became light headed and dizzy and possibly blacked out. The Acadia struck a 1992 Nissan Frontier pickup that was parked on Oakdale Drive, as well as Price, who was standing in the street next to the pickup, Forrester explained.
The pickup sustained rear driver's side and driver's side damage, he noted. The Acadia sustained front passenger and passenger side damage and was removed from the scene by a Hindman family member, Forrester reported.
The accident remains under investigation, he noted. A medical condition may have been a contributing factor to the accident, Forrester added.
