Three people were taken to an area hospital overnight Sunday after a rollover wreck on state Route 512, according to the Washington State Patrol.

All three — a man and woman from Lakewood in their 30s and an unidentified driver — were taken to Tacoma General Hospital.

About 1:20 a.m., the three people were headed west on state Route 512, near Pacific Avenue. Troopers say their car crashed into a semi-trailer, then rolled, blocking traffic for more than three hours.

The injured were not wearing seat belts, according to State Patrol.

The 37-year-old male truck driver was not injured. The crash is under investigation.
