The gym of an elementary school in Duluth is unusable as the school district determines the stability of the structure after a vehicle hit the building Friday around 8:25 a.m., causing significant damage and a section of the wall to crumble.
Duluth Police said no students or teachers were in the gym when the crash occurred.
A vehicle with two people inside was driving on North 8th Avenue East when it ran a stop sign and went through the intersection, down an embankment, and then crashed into the gymnasium of Myer-Wilkens Elementary, police said.
The two people in the vehicle were taken to the hospital.
The school says they are on a secure protocol, but the school day is going on as normal otherwise.
The incident is under investigation.
