A Salina woman was transported to a Wichita hospital after a head-on collision on East Crawford Saturday night.
Cassandra Daniels was westbound in an eastbound lane of East Crawford near the South Fifth Street intersection in a 2006 Honda Accord when she struck head on a 1997 Dodge Ram 3500 crew cab pickup driven by Robert Flax, 70, of Salina, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this morning. The accident occurred at 9:30 p.m. Saturday, he noted.
According to Forrester, witnesses told police that Daniels was westbound and had swerved into oncoming traffic several times, Forrester explained. Additionally, Daniels did not have the Accord's headlights on, witnesses said.
