(Radio Iowa) – Three members of the Remsen St. Mary’s Girls Basketball team suffered major injuries when the team’s vehicle was involved in an accident Saturday. The Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office says a 16 year old player was flown by helicopter from the scene to a hospital in Sioux Falls. Two other players — a 15 year old and an 18 year old — were taken to a Sioux City hospital, then flown to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. A fourth player and the team’s coach, who was driving, were taken by ambulance to a Sioux City hospital.

Three other Remsen St Mary’s players were treated at the scene. An assistant coach traveling with the team was not injured. Officials say the bus was at an intersection, turning to go north on Highway 75 when it was struck by a Jeep going south on the highway. The S-U-V’s driver, another adult and two children from the Jeep were taken by ambulance to a Sioux City hospital. The Plymouth County Sheriff says the Jeep’s driver had minor injuries and the three other occupants told first responders they were experiencing pain.

Remsen St. Mary’s School will hold an “Annointing of the Sick” mass on Friday afternoon. The Subway in Le Mars has announced 20 percent of sales made from 4 until 8 p.m. Tuesday, will donated to support the hospitalized students.
