The juveniles, ages 14, 10, 15 and 11, had injuries ranging from a broken pelvis, a broken wrist and numerous lacerations. None of the injuries appeared life threatening, according to a news release from the Rapid City Police Department.

The names of the juveniles were not released.

The driver of the car, Tammy Ann Bradford, 39, was arrested on a charge of third offense driving under the influence and vehicular battery. Bradford could face other charges once the accident investigation is completed.

She suffered minor injuries in the accident.

Bradford was westbound on Seger Drive at about noon when she lost control of her Honda Accord. The car left the street, striking the juveniles, police said.

The police department's Critical Accident Reconstruction Team is handling the ongoing investigation.

Officers from the police department, Pennington County Sheriff's Office and South Dakota Highway Patrol responded to the accident.

Rapid City Fire Department emergency services transported the Bradford and the youths to Rapid City Regional Hospital.

If you don't see your comment, perhaps...

you called someone an idiot, a racist, a dope, a moron, etc. Please, no name-calling or profanity (or veiled profanity -- #$%^&*).
you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
