Eight students on the Anaheim High School track team have been transported to a hospital after a man plowed into the group while they were on a practice run, authorities said.

The car veered off the road and hit the students while they were waiting for a light to change at the southwestern corner of Harbor Boulevard and North Street in Anaheim around 2:55 p.m. Wednesday, according to Anaheim Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Matt Sutter.

No information was available on their conditions.

The driver is identified only as a 27-year-old Anaheim man. He is under investigation for driving under the influence, but no arrest has been made. He was also injured in the collision and transported to a hospital, Sutter said.

Harbor Boulevard and North Street were shut down after the incident while police continued the investigation. School resource officers were at the scene, and parents who had concerns about their students were advised to contact the school, he said.

Video of the incident captured by OnScene.TV showed multiple students lying on the ground and bleeding near where an orange sedan had driven up the sidewalk and smashed into a low brick wall.
