A three-vehicle crash east of Drayton has left quite the mess, and forced police to close a large portion of Wellington Road 12.

The call came in around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday for a serious crash involving two passenger vehicles and a tractor trailer carrying lumber, near the intersection of Wellington Road 12 and Wellington Road 7 in Parker.

Provincial police Cst. Josh Cunningham said the commercial vehicle rolled over, spilling its load of lumber.

He said none of the injuries are life threatening, though one person was sent to hospital with serious injuries.

The County of Wellington said Wellington Road 12 is closed between Wellington Road 7 and Wellington Road 8, as police are on scene investigating the cause of the crash.

Police say the road will be closed for a few hours, and you're asked to plan an alternate.
