RAMSEY, Minn. — Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to Brookside Elementary School in Ramsey Wednesday morning after a 2-year-old child was hit and injured by a vehicle during morning drop-off.

The child was airlifted to a hospital.

Authorities say the child's condition is unknown at this time.

In a message that morning to families, Brookside Elementary school Principal Dr. Anissa Cravens said the accident involved the sibling of a student.

"An ambulance, medical helicopter and law enforcement responded today to provide medical response," Dr. Cravens said. All students are safe, and families do not need to pick up their children.

"While this is upsetting, school is being held as usual. Social workers are available at our school today to provide additional support at our school for students who may need time to process emotions," Cravens added.

An investigation into the accident is underway by the Anoka County Sheriff's Office.
