Springfield, Ill. (AP) – The driver of a car through a building He was killed three children and a teenager for a popular post-school warehouse in Central Illinois.

No decisions were made about whether charges submitted to the 44-year-old driver, said Brendan F. Kelly, police director of Illinois State State, at a press conference. The driver is not in custody, said Kelly.

The proof that she may have had a medical emergency is “not conclusive” and the examination continues, said Kelly.

The car went off the street on Monday, crossed a field and Brush into the side of the building In Chatham, who is used by young people and needs other things outdoors, also known as a ynot. It traveled through the building and hit people before leaving the other side.

Six other children were hospitalized. Four of them stayed in the hospital, including one in a critical condition, said a spokesman for the state police after the press conference on Thursday.

The killed Rylee Britton, 18, from Springfield, Ainsley Johnson, 8, Kathryn Corley (7) and Alma Buhnerkempe, 7. All children came from Chatham, a community of around 15,000 outside the capital of Illinois from Springfield.

The driver was not injured, but was taken to a hospital for an examination after the crash, said Kelly. She voluntarily submitted blood and urine samples that were negatively tested for drugs and alcohol, he said.

“Some evidence has been developed, which indicates the possibility of a medical emergency before the crash,” said Kell. “However, the investigation of this information and other evidence has not yet been completed and continues until all the notes and research were exhausted.”

He would not explain the possible health problem in more detail or say what evidence knowledge the investigators have who point out that a medical emergency occurred. He would also not say whether the driver was aware and attentive when rescue workers reached them.

The surveillance camera film material showed that the vehicle was “considerable removal” when the street left, said Jamie Loftus, founder of Ynot Outdoors. It crossed the field, a street, the sidewalk and the parking lot of Ynot before the building crashed through the building through the building “without obvious attempt to change” at the beginning of this week. The vehicle then crossed a gravel road and fell against a pole and a fence.

Kelly said the vehicle drove more than 396 meters, but would not explain in more detail and would not say how quickly the vehicle was moving.

He said that he could not offer a schedule for the conclusion of the investigation and, if necessary, stated that the lawyer of the public prosecutor of the Sangamon district is concerned.
