A Salina woman was injured and a Great Bend man cited after a three-vehicle accident Wednesday morning in the central part of the city.

Dalton Murphy, 21, of Great Bend, was northbound on South Fourth Street in a 2001 Dodge Durango and stopped at the intersection with East Crawford Street. According to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester, Murphy pulled into the intersection and was struck by an eastbound 2017 Nissan Altima driven by Cecilia Cabral, 32, of Salina.

The impact spun both vehicles into the westbound lanes of East Crawford Street, where they were struck by a 2019 Ford Fusion driven by Joseph Calhoun, 40, of Baldwin City, Forrester reported.

Cabral was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center for minor injuries including her ankle, right hand, and wrist, Forrester explained.

The Durango and Altima both had disabling damage and were towed from the scene, while the Fusion had front end damage and was removed by the owner, he added.

Murphy was cited for failure to yield the right of way and driving while suspended.
