Six people, including four children, were taken to Salina Regional Health Center Monday afternoon following a single-vehicle accident west of Salina.

Saline County Undersheriff Brent Melander said this morning that Heather McClure, 30, of Tescott, was eastbound on State Street in a 2013 Dodge Durango when she got into a verbal altercation with a passenger, Traveil Lewis, 40, of Tescott. During the argument, the SUV crossed the road, went into the ditch, and came to rest in a field. The accident occurred at approximately 3:25 p.m. Monday.

Damage was mainly on the undercarriage of the Durango, Melander said. The SUV was towed from the scene.

McClure, Lewis, and four children who also were passengers in the Durango were transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center with non-life-threatening injuries, Melander said. The children included a baby, a two-year-old, a five-year-old, and a seven-year-old, he said.
