One person was hospitalized early Wednesday morning after a sedan collided with a semitrailer in the south valley.

The crash was reported just before 4 a.m. at the corner of Spencer Street and Serene Avenue, according to Metropolitan Police Department Lt. David Gordon.

At 5 a.m. Gordon said the injured person’s condition was critical and impairment does not appear to be a factor in the crash.

Spencer is blocked off north of Serene while police investigate.
