A Minneapolis man was cited after a two-vehicle wreck Tuesday morning in central Salina.

Richard Profitt, 39, of Minneapolis, was northbound on S. Ninth Street in a 2010 Toyota Corolla when he failed to stop at the W. Republic Avenue stoplight and struck an eastbound 2020 Buick Enclave driven by Ashley Ernsbarger, 38, of Salina, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.

Profitt had a cut on his arm but refused EMS treatment, Forrester said.

Both vehicles sustained front end damage and were towed from the scene.

Forrester said Profitt was cited for no proof of insurance and failure to stop at a stoplight.
