Three students were injured when they came in contact with a live power line at Vestavia Hills High School.

Media reports say the students were moving a football goal post Wednesday afternoon when it touched an electrical wire. A school system statement says the accident happened near the football practice field.

At least two of the students were taken to a hospital, but their conditions aren’t known.

The school system says it isn’t releasing the names of the injured students, and their conditions aren’t available.
