The teens were identified as 13-year-old Jared Fillmore,13-year-old Shanece Reynold, 13-year-old Courtney Osborn and 15-year-old Haylee Burr. They were crossing the highway when they were struck by a Honda Civic driven by a 17-year-old female.
The four teens who were struck were taken to a hospital via ambulance. Haylee and Shanece were treated for leg injuries and released. Jared and Courtney were taken from Mountain View Hospital to Primary Children’s Medical Center via medical helicopter.
Jared suffered multiple broken bones and head trauma. He is listed as in stable condition.
Christianson said the accident has shaken the community.
"Anytime you have four, really five children involved here counting the driver that hit them, that's a big impact, and the community is certainly grieving at this point," he said.
There were no indications that the driver of the Civic was speeding or impaired, according to the press release. She was cooperative with investigators.
