A pair of high school athletes from Illinois were killed in a sledding accident during a spring break trip to Colorado over the weekend, officials said.
The victims, identified by school officials as Dylan Bazzell and Drew Fehr, were riding tandem down a half-pipe at Copper Mountain Ski Resort on Sunday night when their sled launched off a large snowbank, the Summit County Sheriff’s Office said Monday.
“The two individuals came down hard on the hard ice below, causing blunt force trauma,” the statement read.
First responders arrived around 8:35 p.m., but were unable to revive the two teens, who were both pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said the victims were 17 and 18 years old, but did not release their names.
