A Hutchinson man was injured in a single-vehicle wreck that occurred in eastern Saline County early Monday.
Just after 10:30 a.m. the sheriff's office learned that someone was seeking treatment at Salina Regional Health Center and had been involved in a car crash, according to Saline County Undersheriff Brent Melander.
The man, identified as Sergio Garcia, 31, of Hutchinson, was not able to tell deputies where the wreck happened, however when Garcia described the scenery, a deputy was able to determine the location as near the intersection of E. Crawford Street and Gypsum Valley Road in eastern Saline County.
Deputies went there and located a 2014 Ford Focus high-centered on some large rocks that a landowner had installed near the end of his driveway.
Garcia had been taken to Salina Regional with multiple non-life-threatening injuries, according to Melander. Garcia later was transferred to another hospital believed to be closer to his home, however, Melander did not have specific information about the hospital.
Garcia was cited for not wearing a seatbelt, Melander said.
With the help of the landowner, who used farm machinery to lift the car off of the rocks, Salina Wrecker Service, Inc., removed the car from the scene. It is believed that the wreck occurred much earlier in the morning, Melander said.
