A medical issue is believed to have caused a single-vehicle accident Friday afternoon in central Salina.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that a 67-year-old Salina man was eastbound on Edison Place in a 2010 Dodge Dakota just after 3:30 p.m. Friday. The pickup went through the stop sign at S. Ohio Street, crossed the street, and struck a privacy fence at 547 S. Ohio Street.

The pickup rolled onto the driver's side and the driver had to be extracted by Salina Fire Department personnel.

The driver was transported to Salina Regional Health Center because of a medical issue not caused by the wreck, Forrester said.

The pickup was towed from the scene.
