Emergency crews responded to a single-vehicle vehicle rollover on Essa Road in Barrie's south end, Wednesday night. 

The crash happened around 8 p.m., between Mapleview Drive and Coughlin Road. The four-door vehicle sustained heavy damage.

There was no word at the scene whether anyone had been taken to hospital, as police officers declined to comment.

A Barrie police spokesperson told BarrieToday they expect to release information in the morning.

The road was closed for a short time while the vehicle was pulled from the ditch and removed from the scene, but it has since reopened.
