SARASOTA, Florida (AP) - Authorities say a 16-year-old boy has been injured in a BMX bicycle tournament in southwest Florida.

Authorities tell the Sarasota Herald-Tribune that the boy fell while making a turn in the race. Two other bicyclists in the Sarasota tournament then ran over him.

The teen was airlifted to a hospital in St. Petersburg.
