OSSEO, MN: A 15-year-old pedestrian was seriously injured Friday evening following an Osseo High School football game, during which police also responded to multiple fights and disturbances involving large groups of juveniles.
According to an October 24 press release from the Osseo Police Department, officers responded to reports of disturbances and multiple fights in the school parking lot shortly after the game ended on Friday, October 23, at approximately 7:20 p.m.
Officers from the Osseo Police Department, with assistance from the Maple Grove, Champlin and Brooklyn Park police departments, worked to intervene, de-escalate the situation and maintain public safety.
Police reported that no injuries were associated with the fights, and no arrests were made in connection with the parking lot disturbances.
However, authorities learned that a separate incident occurred in which someone was struck by a vehicle that was backing up in the parking lot. That person sustained minor injuries and received treatment at the scene.
Later that evening, at approximately 8:15 p.m., officers responded to a vehicle-versus-pedestrian crash near County Road 81 and 4th Street SE.
According to police, a 15-year-old who had attended the football game was struck by an oncoming vehicle while crossing County Road 81.
The teenager sustained serious injuries. Officers and deputies provided medical assistance at the scene before transporting the teen to a hospital. The teenager's current condition has not been released.
Authorities said the driver remained at the scene and cooperated with law enforcement. Preliminary information indicates the driver was not involved in the earlier disturbances at the school.
