Two teenagers were killed on Sunday night in a sledding accident at Copper Mountain ski resort in Colorado. Deputies with the Summit County Sheriff's Office rushed to the ski area about 8:35 p.m. Sunday.
The two teenagers, a 17- and 18-year-old from Prairie Central High School in Illinois, were on a spring break vacation when they rode tandem down the halfpipe and launched off a large snowbank at the bottom of the halfpipe.
The teens were riding a single plastic sled, which is not allowed on Copper Mountain runs. This was also after the resort had closed their areas. The boy's school district has released the names of the two young men involved, asking for people to keep their families in their prayers. The Summit County Coroner has yet to release their names from the death investigation.
