On Monday, May 12, 2025, at approximately 6:20 am, a commercial vehicle pulling a tank trailer loaded with crude oil was traveling eastbound on SR-6 at mile marker 247 through the town of Wellington. The CV left the roadway to the right, colliding with six vehicles which were parked at an auto repair facility. The CV continued through an intersection, a utility pole, a fire hydrant, fencing, and an open field before crashing and coming to a rest in an occupied house. The elderly couple residing in the home were struck by the truck, a 12 YOM was asleep in the front room and uninjured. The two occupants of the CV were transported to the hospital in Bravo and Charlie condition. The adult male, female, and male child were also transported to the hospital.
