Three Hemet West Valley High School students who were walking away from school Monday afternoon were hit by a car and taken by ambulances to area hospitals.

All three students — two females and a male — were minors. Investigators said they got up after the impact and were able to take several steps before getting woozy and requiring medical assistance.

The females were taken to Riverside County Regional Medical Center in Moreno Valley and the male was taken to Inland Valley Medical Center in Hemet. Their conditions were not known.

Principal Alex Ballard said the male student was a freshman and the females were a freshman and a sophomore. Their names were not released.

The incident occurred just before 3 p.m. as the students were walking on Mustang Way at Morgan Hill Road, near the easternmost exit of the parking lot, about 100 yards from Sanderson Avenue.

Shortly after the impact, a silver Dodge Charger was stopped in front of the parking lot exit, facing east. It had a dent in its left front fender and part of its windshield was caved in.

As a light rain fell on the scene, a number of students and emergency workers held a tarp over the injured before they were loaded into ambulances.

The occupants of the Charger declined to comment at the scene.
