Five teens were hurt, two seriously when they were ejected in a rollover crash in Adelanto early Monday morning following a short pursuit.
The five were driving erratically in an allegedly stolen vehicle, San Bernardino County sheriff’s officials said.
A deputy first spotted the white Ford F-150 driving recklessly near Seneca Road and Aster Street, around 5:30 a.m., according to a release.
He tried to stop the truck, but the truck drove off.
The driver lost control near Aster Road and Mojave Drive causing the truck to roll, ejecting two people from the vehicle, officials said.
Two rescue helicopters landed at the Adelanto High School football field and flew two of the boys to Antelope Valley Hospital. Both are listed in critical condition.
A third teen was taken to Victor Valley Community Hospital and is listed in stable condition. The last two were treated at the scene by paramedics and released to their guardians, sheriff’s officials said.
Investigators learned the truck had been reportedly stolen in Adelanto.
