Suspected DUI Driver Slams Into High School Running Team

Eight members of a California high school running team were hospitalized Wednesday after a car veered off the road and struck them at a street intersection, say police, who are investigating the case as a possible DUI. The crash occurred just before 3pm as members of Anaheim High School's track and field team waited to cross the street, according to the Anaheim Police Department. All eight students were taken to hospitals, with one in critical condition, KABC reports. The 27-year-old driver was also taken to a hospital for treatment.

Surveillance video shows a red car moving through the intersection before striking the group and a brick wall below a stoplight, per NBC4. A coach, who was running with the team, witnessed the incident as he was approaching the intersection, according to police. School resource officers responded to the scene within minutes. Police are now investigating whether the driver was impaired at the time of the crash. He had not been arrested as of late Wednesday afternoon, per KESQ.
