(KAIR)--A car and semi tractor-trailer collide, sending one person to the hospital.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News the wreck happened early Tuesday morning in the 2000 block of U.S. Highway 59.

It was there that a westbound 2005 Saturn, driven by 19-year-old Wathena resident Isaac Vallejo, crossed the center line.

The car crashed into an eastbound semi, leaving Vallejo with head and facial injuries.

He was transported from the scene by EMS and taken to Saint Joseph, Missouri for hospital treatment.

The driver of the semi, from Garden City, was not hurt.

The wreck happened shortly before 6:00 Tuesday morning.
