A local man was injured in a single-vehicle accident Monday west of Salina.

Michael Panzer, 52, of Salina, was westbound in the 11000 block of State Street when his 1998 Lincoln Towncar left the roadway and struck a concrete bridge railing, Saline County Sheriff's Captain Jim Hughes said this morning.

It is believed that mechanical issues with the car caused it to go off the roadway.

Hughes said Panzer was treated and released at the scene by EMS.
