3 Morristown East students hit by truck

A pickup truck was turning and did not see the runners crossing the street, officials said.

Three members of the Morristown East High School cross country team were taken to the hospital after being hit by a truck Friday afternoon.

A spokesperson for the Morristown Police Department said the teens were running westbound on Cumberland Street at Third Street around 4:15 p.m., and were waived across the road by two vehicles that were in the northbound lanes. A third vehicle, a Ford F-150, was in the turn lane, and did not see the runners crossing the street.

The spokesperson said the teens' injuries were believed to be non-life threatening.

No information was immediately available about the driver, or if charges are pending.
