Two Illinois high school students were killed in a sledding accident on spring break in Colorado, school officials said.
The male students were identified only by their ages, 17 and 18. They were students at Prairie Central High School in Fairbury, Illinois, school administrators said.
They were riding in tandem down the halfpipe at Copper Mountain Ski Resort in Summit County when they launched off a large snowbank at the bottom, the Summit County Sheriff’s Office said.
The accident at Copper Mountain, a resort less than 80 miles west of Denver, happened about 8:30 p.m. Sunday, officials at the ski area said.
