A 16-year-old Salem juvenile was injured in a two-vehicle crash Thursday night on West Main Street at Kinney Boulevard on the west side of Salem.

Salem Police say a vehicle driven by 41-year-old Nicholas Johnson of Washington State was westbound on West Main making a left turn onto Kinney drive when he collided with an eastbound car driven by the 16-year-old.

While both drivers declined medical attention at the scene, the 16-year-old was later taken by private vehicle to Salem Township Hospital for a concussion and a back injury.

Johnson was ticketed for failure to yield when making a left turn at an intersection.

The crash occurred at 10:46 Thursday evening.
