A teenage boy was cited after the car he was driving struck a school bus in central Salina Monday afternoon.

The 16-year-old boy was northbound on Lewis Avenue in a 2016 Volkswagen Jetta when he failed to stop at the stop sign at McAdams Road and struck the left rear side of an eastbound 2014 International school bus belonging to Durham School Services, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. The accident occurred at approximately 2:55 p.m. Monday.

Forrester said the school bus driver, a 76-year-old Salina man, and seven passengers, ranging in age from 14 to 17, were not injured.

The Jetta received front-end damage.

The teen driver was cited for failure to stop at a stop sign, Forrester said.
