A pickup struck four Arlee High School students at around 8:30 a.m. Monday at the intersection of U.S. Highway 93 and Taelman Street.

The Arlee School District announced the incident Monday on its Facebook page. The students were struck as they crossed Highway 93, according to the district, and all four were taken to medical facilities in Missoula with non-life threatening injuries.
