One person has been taken to the hospital with injuries from a three-vehicle crash on Route 50 in the Merrifield area, the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department says.

Units are currently on the scene at the Williams Drive intersection just west of the Gatehouse Plaza shopping center.

Westbound Route 50 (Arlington Blvd) has been closed at Gallows Road, and two right lanes are blocked, according to the fire department, which advises drivers to seek alternate routes.

The FCFRD says the injuries of the person taken to the hospital aren’t considered life-threatening.
