Two people were injured in a two-vehicle wreck Thursday afternoon.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that a 17-year-old Salina girl in a 2012 Honda Accord was backing out of a driveway in the 700 block of W. Ash Street when her car struck an eastbound 2006 Nissan Pathfinder driven by Candice Dorch, 36, of Salina.

The accident occurred at approximately 4:20 p.m. Thursday.

The girl complained of back and neck pain and was assisted by EMS personnel at the scene. A passenger in the Accord, also a 17-year-old female, complained of arm pain and was treated at the scene by EMS, Forrester said.

The Accord sustained rear-end damage and the Pathfinder sustained front-end damage, he said. Both were towed from the scene.

The girl was cited for limits on backing, Forrester said. Dorch was cited for no proof of insurance and driving with a canceled, suspended or revoked license, he said.
