Three 15-year-old Rogers High School students walking toward their school bus in Otsego Thursday morning were struck and badly injured by a pickup truck driver.

Officials say the bus's stop arm was down when the students were hit. The 22-year-old driver of the pickup truck from Lexington, Minn., was arrested and booked into the Wright County jail on criminal vehicular operation charges, the Wright County Sheriff's Office said in a statement late Thursday.

The students injured in the crash were identified as Greta Jenson, Beckett Olson and Ian Orina, all from Otsego. All three are at Hennepin County Medical Center. Greta and Beckett are listed in critical condition; Ian's condition is described as serious, HCMC said.

The department said its emergency response center got a call at 6:51 a.m. of a vehicle that had struck several pedestrians at a school bus stop at 78th Street Northeast and Parrish Avenue Northeast in Otsego.

The Elk River School District, which includes Rogers High School, said district leaders are working with officials to find out exactly what happened.

"It's been a difficult day for our Rogers High School community and our thoughts are with our students and their families," Rogers High School Principal Jason Paurus said.
