According to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester, at approximately 6 p.m. Wednesday, a blue Dodge 1500 pickup rear-ended a 2008 GMC Acadia while it was stopped at a red light on Ninth St. A witness to the hit-and-run followed the pickup and notified police of the incident.
The witness told police they saw the vehicle stop in the 2400 block of Robin Road. Four suspects exited the vehicle and removed the license plate. All suspects were last seen running east of the scene. The witness described the suspects as possibly two black men and two Hispanic women.
Police officers ran the vehicle registration number for the Dodge pickup and identified the owner of the vehicle to be 66-year-old, C.J. Richardson of Salina, who reported the vehicle missing from the 700 block of North Eighth Street.
The driver of the Acadia, Janet Gilger a 68-year-old from South Dakota, and 67-year-old passenger from Salina were not injured. The Acadia sustained damage to the rear end but was able to be driven away from the scene.
