One person was injured in a motorcycle-car wreck early Friday evening in south Salina.

Paula Ball, 56, was turning eastbound onto E. Magnolia Road from Highland Avenue on a 2006 Harley-Davidson motorcycle when she turned wide and struck a westbound 2018 Lincoln Continental driven by Kathleen Pratt, 80, of Salina, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. The accident occurred at approximately 6:15 p.m. Friday.

Ball suffered minor injuries and was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center.

The motorcycle sustained disabling damage and the Continental sustained front-end damage. Both were towed from the scene.

Forrester said that Ball, who had a learner's permit to drive the motorcycle, was cited for improper turn.
