Authorities say 15-year-old Daunte Jamal Moore has died after he was struck by two vehicles in a Minneapolis suburb.
The Minnesota State Patrol says the boy was hit by a westbound car on Highway 7 in St. Louis Park last evening. He was propelled into eastbound traffic and struck again by another vehicle.
The drivers of both vehicles were not injured. The highway was closed for several hours while officials investigated.
Moore, a ninth grader, attended West Junior High according to a statement released by Hopkins Public Schools.
"As a district, and as a school community, we are extremely sad about this tragic loss," a spokesperson for the district wrote. Adding that grief counselors are available to help students and staff who are struggling with the loss.
