SPANISH FORK — A woman was critically injured in a crash involving a semitruck and a car in Spanish Fork on Wednesday afternoon.

Spanish Fork police said officers were dispatched to a "serious traffic accident" about 2:20 p.m. near 1300 E. Center Street and U.S. 6.

A 50-year-old woman was driving east and attempted to turn left on a yellow light and was struck by a semitruck, Lt. Cory Slaymaker said. The 36-year-old man driving the semitruck was injured.

The woman was critically injured and transported to a hospital. She had two dogs in her car, one of which was killed in the accident and the other was taken to a vet for treatment.

Traffic in the area was delayed after the crash as one westbound lane was closed.
