Two-vehicle crash sends 1 to hospital

A two-vehicle crash closed off traffic on Centennial Road for about an hour Sunday night. One of the drivers was taken to Salina Regional Health Center to be examined; her condition wasn't immediately known.

Police Lt. Allen Salzman said the crash happened about 7:10 p.m. on Centennial, slightly north of Scanlan Avenue. He said the male driver of a small pickup struck the west curb and overcorrected, causing the pickup to careen into the northbound lane of traffic.

The pickup collided with a car driven by a female traveling north. The front corners of the vehicles hit and both the vehicles' airbags deployed, said Salzman.

The names of the drivers weren't available Sunday night.

Police were investigating alcohol as a possible contributing factor in the pickup driver's crash, Salzman said. He said officers took the man in for questioning to the Saline County Jail.

Bicyclist on mission stops in Ottawa

It's history and a curiosity about America's future that drives Laurence Eubank, Portsmouth, Maine, on.

Eubank, a contractor who's 60 and who paused in Ottawa this week, is nearly half-way through what is his third bicycling trip across the U.S. He stopped in Kansas and flew back to Maine for a short break, then he'll retrieve his bicycle and gear in Kansas and resume his trip to San Francisco.

Eubank said he wanted to see America's West up close and slow, away from the major expressways that cross the country.

Eubank is following many of the trails that pioneers used when they went west.
