A local woman was cited for failure to yield after a two-vehicle injury wreck Monday morning in central Salina.

Samantha Panuco, 25, of Salina, attempted to turn left onto E. Crawford Street from Elmore Drive in a 2017 GMC Acadia when the vehicle struck a westbound 2015 Mazda 6 driven by Tracie Smucker, 54, of Salina, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. The wreck occurred at approximately 7:10 a.m. Monday.

Smucker possibly received injuries from the air bag deployment, Forrester said.

Both vehicles received front-end damage and were towed.

Forrester said Panuco was cited for failure to yield the right-of-way.
