Authorities say at least seven parked vehicles were damaged in the collision. The driver, identified as Dylan Gross, was taken to a local hospital, and no other injuries were reported.

Police have since issued Gross a misdemeanor citation for inattentive driving.

Garden City Police Chief Cory Stambaugh said it was fortunate no one else was hurt. “Inattentive driving can lead to serious injuries or death, and it’s important to always stay alert and focused when behind the wheel,” Stambaugh said.
