GILBERT, AZ - Crews worked for several hours Thursday night to clear the scene after a three-vehicle accident in Gilbert sent a teen to the hospital.

Gilbert Fire Department spokesman Mike Connor said crews were called to the wreck near Germann Road and Val Vista Drive around 6:30 p.m.

Connor said four of five patients evaluated at the scene were released. A 17-year-old boy reportedly suffered head injuries and a loss of consciousness and was airlifted to Scottsdale Healthcare-Osborn. His current condition is unknown.

A HAZMAT team was dispatched to the scene after a pickup truck involved in the accident rolled over, spilling pool chemicals onto the roadway.

Connor said crews determined no evacuations were needed and the HAZMAT team was able to clear the area.
