In the US in the city of Chatem, Illinois, a tragedy occurred when the SUV driver rammed the school building. The accident killed four people, including four girls aged 4 to 18 years. A few more people were injured and were hospitalized.
The incident happened when the driver first knocked down several people on the street and then crashed into the wall of a building where there were children and teenagers engaged in extracurricular activities. The three dead were on the street, and one of the victims was inside the school. The driver was not injured as a result of the collision, and law enforcement officers had already detained it.
At this point, it is not established whether this case was a deliberate attack. The building in which the car was crashed was used for extracurricular activities. Local law enforcement officers are investigating to find out all the circumstances of the tragedy.
Governor of Illinois Jay Bei Pritsker expressed their condolences to the families of the dead. This tragedy occurred only two days after a similar incident in Vancouver, where the car also crashed into the crowd, which led to the death of 11 people.
