Three people were injured in a two-vehicle wreck Tuesday afternoon northwest of Salina.
Chad Markby, 38, of Culver, was northbound on N. Hedville Road in a 2011 Ford F250 pickup when he crossed the center line and side-swiped a southbound 2020 General Motors FedEx van driven by April Padget, 38, of Salina, Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning. The collision occurred at approximately 2:23 p.m. Tuesday just north of the intersection with Watkins Road.
Markby told deputies that he was attempting to take his jacket off at the time of the collision, Soldan said.
The FedEx van
Padget complained of left shoulder pain and knee pain and was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center. A passenger in the FedEx van, Nikki Snell, 55, of Salina, received minor injuries, but was not transported to Salina Regional. Additionally, Markby had minor injuries, but was not transported to Salina Regional, Soldan said.
Both vehicles sustained driver-side damage, Soldan said.
Markby was cited for improper driving on a laned roadway, Soldan said.
