Police are looking for a driver who fled the scene after a two-vehicle accident early this morning in south Salina.

Barbara Adams, 58, of Salina, was traveling northbound in the 2000 block of S. Ohio Street at 2:20 a.m. Friday in a 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe when someone in an unknown make/model of vehicle pulled out of the parking lot of Speakeasy, 2030 S. Ohio Street, to also go northbound on Ohio, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this morning.

The vehicle struck the rear driver-side quarter panel of the Tahoe, causing it to roll one time, coming to rest on its wheels facing southbound in the southbound lanes of S. Ohio Street. The driver of the vehicle fled the scene, Forrester noted.

The Tahoe had damage to both sides and the top, and was towed from the scene. The other vehicle should have damage to the passenger side, he added.
