Five people were hospitalized after a tanker truck ended up buried in the side of a house after plowing through a business and an intersection. 

The incident happened on Monday morning, May 12th just before 6:20 a.m. in Wellington, Utah. 

According to KJZZ 14, a tanker truck loaded with crude oil was driving east on State Route 6 when it veered off of the roadway. The tanker truck then plowed through six vehicles parked at a repair shop and skidded through an intersection before hitting a utility pole, a fire hydrant, and a fence. The tanker truck then continued through an open field before slamming into the side of a house, where it became buried in the rubble. 

An older couple asleep inside of the home was hit by the truck, while a 12-year-old boy sleeping in the front room was unhurt. Two people inside of the buried truck cab were also injured in the accident. All five people were transported to a hospital by ambulance. The older couple was then flown to another hospital for further treatment. Details on the injuries have not been released. It is not clear why the boy was taken to the hospital. 

Cleanup of the incident included a downed power line, which was left sitting on top of the buried tanker truck. A power outage affecting nine customers was reported. Information regarding the cause of the wreck has not been released.
