A man from Abilene was transported to Salina Regional Health Center after a fiery two car crash on I-70. According to the Authorities 21-year-old Lucas Burleson was rushed to the hospital with a possible leg injury following an accident Sunday evening. Deputies say Burleson was cited for unsafe speed and following too closely after his 2014 Hyundai collided with the backend of a 2009 Ford Escape driven by 56-year-old Theresa Bishop of Salina. Burleson’s vehicle went off the shoulder and caught fire around 6pm Sunday just east of Salina on Interstate-70 near mile marker #259. Bishop was not injured.
