One person has serious injuries after a head-on crash on the Route 190 Bridge between Suffield and Enfield early Friday morning and a dog that was in one of the vehicles involved in the crash is missing.

Suffield police said a tractor-trailer and a work van collided, head-on, around 12:08 a.m. and the truck and part of the road were on fire.

Firefighters from Enfield and Suffield extricated the driver from the work van, who sustained serious injuries and was taken to the hospital.

The truck driver was able to get out of the truck and had minor injuries, police said.

Police said the missing dog's name is Lexi and they are asking anyone who sees her to contact them at 860-668-3870.

The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection was called because of the fire and a fuel spill, police said.

The state Department of Transportation was called to check the condition of the road and the state police traffic services unit responded to inspect the tractor-trailer.

The bridge has since reopened.
