Illinois Car Crash, at which four were killed in the program after the school

The Illinois after-school program at the center of a fatal crash, in which three children and a young adult were dead on Monday, was not a targeted attack, said the state police.

The officials reacted on Monday afternoon in the Ynot camp in Chatham, about 211 miles southwest of Chicago after a vehicle drove into the east side of the building. The car had left a nearby street for unknown reasons and drove through a 78 hectare farm field before reaching the daycare center at high speed.

Marianne Akers, 44, from Chatham, a 14,000 -year -old village, drove the SUV and the only person in the car. It was brought to a regional hospital for evaluation and the toxicological results are still pending.

The car hit several people outside the building and then continued through the structure and hit people inside before leaving through the west wall.

Akers is currently not in custody, since the cause of the incident is still being examined.

The authorities confirmed that Alma Buhnerkempe and Kathryn Cory (7 7), Ainsley Johnson (8) and Rylee Britton (18), which were killed in the crash.

Sangamon County's forensic doctor found that they all died in several blunt injuries. Six other children were brought to hospitals in regional patients, and one remains in a critical condition. The injured were transported with ambulances and helicopters.

A police reaction, an ambulance and a large hole in the wall in which the car had fallen.

The after-school program, the name of which stands for young people who need other things, began in 2002 and offers affordable daycare and a summer camp.

The center offers a three-hour, post-predicting, locked care for primary school children in the Ballchatham district. Parents can manage and identify school traffic offices to hand over children at the location of the daycare center, according to the organization's website.

On Wednesday, a banner was on the website: “Please keep the families of Chatham Ynot and our employees in your prayers. We were able to use them safely.”

“I can't collect the words to express a lot of everything that makes sense in printed form,” said Jamie Loftus, the founder of the post -school program.

“However, I know that our families, who have suffered loss and injuries today, hurt very, very, very badly. They are friends and their children like our children.”

Molly Jo Ehlert Lamb, the mother of a boy who participates in the daycare center, wrote on Facebook that the ordeal was “unimaginable, scary and a nightmare”, although her child was unscathed.

After the crash, a gofundme was set up to support the victims' families and collected 109,000 US dollars, far beyond a target of $ 30,000. Village officers will organize a candlelight at the Glenwood High School on Thursday to honor the deceased.
