(KNSI) — A 12-year-old Sartell boy is hospitalized in critical condition after crashing his bike at Northside Park on Sunday afternoon.
According to a press release, the boy was riding his bike down what is known as Muskie Hill when he crashed at the bottom. A ten-year-old with him saw what happened and called 911. Someone nearby rushed to the scene and found the child not breathing and without a pulse. That person, a CPR instructor, started CPR until paramedics arrived. The boy was rushed to CentraCare St. Cloud Hospital before being airlifted to Hennepin County Medical Center. He was wearing a helmet at the time. His name is not being released.
Police say several bystanders jumped in to help however they could. Many of them had medical experience and assisted EMS staff, including helping first responders and comforting the child’s friend.
