The weekly races at a racetrack near Ogilvie, Minn., ended with a close call for a man who's expected to survive after getting hit by a racing school bus.
On Saturday night, school buses whipped around the Ogilvie Raceway in Kanabec County as people whooped from the stands. Bus races are part of the weekly program at the raceway.
Video of the race shows one bus losing control and skidding through the middle of the oval. As it careened into the grass, the bus hit a man on a four-wheeler.
Keisha Lucking of Mora, Minn., saw the bus strike the man head-on and said she watched him go "flying."
"He didn't move afterwards, and he flew quite a ways," Lucking said.
Firefighters posted at the race rushed over, she said, but there was no ambulance on scene.
In a statement, Ogilvie Raceway said the man was airlifted to a hospital, where his condition was listed as fair and stable.
A statement posted on the track's Facebook page Sunday said the man was expected to leave the hospital soon.
