Two Forest Lake Area High School track athletes were airlifted to the hospital after a car hit them Tuesday afternoon, school officials say.

A Minnesota State Patrol crash report indicates an 84-year-old Lindstrom man in a Cadillac DeVille was headed south on Highway 61 and struck two 15-year-old boys just after 3:30 p.m.

The boys were in a group of runners using the zebra crossing at 202nd Street, the State Patrol said. The crosswalk is marked with signage on either side of the road and overhead lights.

“Our hearts are with these students and their families,” Forest Lake Area Schools Superintendent Steve Massey wrote in an email to district families and staff.

In an update on Wednesday, it was learned that one of the teens has life-threatening injuries, while the other has non-life-threatening injuries.
