Two people are seriously injured following an early morning fiery rollover crash in Saugus, Massachusetts, on Saturday.

A 36-year-old woman from Waltham was driving a 2016 Toyota HINO box truck on Route 1 southbound north of Main Street shortly after 5 a.m. when it rolled over into a CVS parking lot, police said.

Both the woman and her passenger, a 33-year-old man from Haverhill, were pulled from the truck. They were taken to Massachusetts General Hospital with serious injuries, police said.

The crash caused a major fuel spill in the parking lot and the truck caught fire.

One lane of traffic was closed as crews cleared up the fuel and authorities investigated the crash. The scene was cleared around 6:10 a.m., police said.

Authorities say the truck was owned by Chubby Fish, Inc., of Portland, Maine.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
