Officers and St. Cloud firefighters at the scene provided life-saving measures before he was taken to St. Cloud Hospital and eventually airlifted to Hennepin Healthcare for potentially life-threatening injuries.

Authorities say the boy died from his injuries on Thursday, nine days after the crash.
