A Saline County woman was injured in a two-vehicle wreck west of Salina that left her trapped in her vehicle Tuesday evening.

Saline County Undersheriff Brent Melander said this morning that Steven Moss, 37, of Salina, was eastbound on State Street just west of N. Burma Road when his 2009 Chevrolet Malibu crossed the center line and struck almost head on a westbound 1995 Honda Civic driven by Jolissa Crook, 40, of rural Saline County.

The wreck occurred at approximately 6:43 p.m. Tuesday.

Crook was trapped in her vehicle and had to be removed. She suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center, Melander said. Moss refused treatment at the scene, he added.

Melander said Moss was cited for improper driving on laned roadways and for not wearing a seatbelt.
