LAKEVILLE — Grief support staff and clergy members will be available to students and staff returning to Lakeville South High School.

Two students were killed and two others were injured Friday in a crash not far from the school. Seventeen-year-old Jake Flynn and 18-year-old Johnny Price died after they were thrown from a pickup in which they were passengers.

Authorities say the 17-year-old driver survived the crash. Hennepin County Medical Center spokeswoman Christine Hill says he remains in critical condition Monday. The fourth teen has since been released from the hospital.
