DETROIT (WXYZ) — One person is in critical condition after a crash on Detroit's west side.

Police say officers were called to the scene at the intersection of Plainview and Dover around 1:20 a.m. finding the collision of a Ford F-250 with a Lincoln, resulting in the car coming to rest against a house.

Police say the driver of the Lincoln was injured and taken to a local hospital.

The driver of the pickup truck reportedly ran away from the scene before officers arrived.

Police continue to investigate.
